MotoGP Brno: Dani Pedrosa, “Difficult race, like the whole weekend”

MotoGP 2015 Repsol Honda GP Czech Republic Race – Difficult race in Brno for Dani Pedrosa. The Honda rider, who crashed heavily on Friday due to a broken fork oil seal, with the consequent leakage of fluid ending up on the rear wheel, finished fifth. An imperfect start and the lack of feeling with his RC213V did the rest. The word is up to him.

“Today I didn't have a perfect start, but not the worst either. However, when I entered the first corner Hernandez entered very hard, I had to get the bike back up and his team-mate (Danilo Petrucci) also passed me. In that situation I lost many positions and a lot of time – said Dani Pedrosa – My pace wasn't like that of the warm up and also the feeling with the bike wasn't good due to some problems with the front. It was difficult to recover but in the end I caught Dovizioso and Iannone, but the Ducatis are difficult to overtake because they are very fast on the straights. In the end I managed to pass Dovizioso, but it was a difficult weekend.”
