MotoGP: Dani Pedrosa “Jerez is one of my favorite circuits”
The #26 of the Repsol Honda Team last year won ahead of Marquez and Lorenzo
Dani Pedrosa particularly loves the Jerez de la Frontera circuit, his home GP and the next stage of the 2014 world championship. The Repsol Honda Team centaur won last year ahead of compatriots Marc Marquez and Jorge Lorenzo and would like to repeat it again this year, so to break the dominance of his team-mate (Marquez, ed.). The word is up to him.
“In Argentina we had a good weekend, even though I would have liked to fight for the victory, but I really appreciated the race and the track! Now we go straight to Jerez! This is one of my favorite circuits on the calendar, I really like seeing all the fans and I'm happy to return to Spain after three non-European races. As usual we will start working hard on Friday and I hope to continue with the same momentum we found in Argentina.”

Hopefully, if it is one of his favorite circuits, he will at least keep up with Marquez until the end of the race or even force Marc to follow his pace, we'll see.
...being serious for once, as if I were at work, I can see Reds well for once in Jerez...he's always liked the track and, if the tires hold up, I expect him to stay with Marc, at least 3/4 of the way XNUMX of the race…
A Honda has won for 2 years, maybe it's the right time for a Yamaha to return. Unfortunately I think that only with the rain it could become an interesting race but I think that in the dry, a stop and go circuit, with slow corners, and curves that could allow the Hondas to cut them on the curb, is already destined for Dani or Marquez, l The most positive aspect is that it doesn't have long straights, but if they were asphalted already in Argentina, which seemed to me to be a co-engineered circuit with the Yamahas, I doubt that here they will definitely be able to put the Hondas in difficulty, just a very dirty and aggressive race from the Yamaha riders it could slow down the Honda riders but if they get in front and pull I think they will make a gap.
…in my opinion Jerez isn't exactly stop and go…Le Mans yes, it is but in Jerez it's a game, I'm sure…I'll bet a bottle of Dalwhinnie aged 15 years…
Yes, let's say that Jerez is a lot of stop and little go :)
I hope to see a Lorenzo with the poisoned tooth and who pushes Marquez off the track like Marq did last year with Jorge at the last corner to fight for second position, here is a maneuver of this kind by Jorge in the early stages would lead to Marquez losing 4 or 5 seconds which could prove interesting for the race, in which we would really see him give 100% to get back to the front and to make us understand what his advantage over the other riders really is.
Maybe they'll play it off, but in my opinion the values are those that have been seen up to now even a "slow" circuit like Jerez won't change much, if the Honda riders can afford trajectories that the Yamaha riders dream of I doubt that at the The best the Yamaha riders can make the difference.
