MotoGP Brno, Day 1: Pedrosa, “We are still learning and fine-tuning the bike”

GP Czech Republic MotoGP Honda Repsol – Dani Pedrosa closed the first day of free practice on the Brno circuit with the seventh fastest time, where the Czech Republic Grand Prix, tenth stage of the 2017 MotoGP championship, will take place on Sunday.

In the first session on a wet track, the Spaniard finished fourth fastest, while in the afternoon, on dry track, he stopped in seventh position, 6 tenths behind Andrea Dovizioso, leader of the time classification. Also for Honda, as for Ducati, there was the debut of the new fairing, less evident than that of the Red.

These are the words of Dani Pedrosa: “Today was good because we managed to do a good test in humid conditions. We actually didn't expect rain, or at least not a lot of rain, but overall it was good because after testing here in the dry during the summer break, we had the chance to verify in different conditions the small changes we had made to the bike . This afternoon we basically had half an hour in the dry. We used a new fairing that we had tested in July; we are still learning and fine-tuning the bike to see what level it can take us to. We didn't fit a soft tire in the end and continued with the same one. Now we will wait for the track to be dry tomorrow and for it to be rubberised. “
