MotoGP – Estoril Free Practice – Pedrosa finds the feeling again

Dani Pedrosa did a few laps today in Estoril in the two free practice sessions in Estoril. The Spanish rider, forced to give up the Phillip Island race, found improvements in his physical condition compared to the Australian stage of the MotoGP championship, even if in the end he was only 13th in the standings.

“I immediately felt much better on the bike than in Australia and the shoulder recovered well, this is very positive. I feel a little tired now, but overall I feel pretty good after riding today. It was a shame that we missed this morning's practice due to rain and also at the start of the afternoon session the track conditions were difficult. I didn't feel very comfortable with the bike today, but I think this is normal after a long time without riding. I didn't want to take any unnecessary risks today, but it was nice to be back on the bike and see that I can ride more or less normally.”
