MotoGP | GP Aragon Race: Pedrosa, "After Moto2 there was little grip, perhaps it would have been better to use the soft tyre"

MotoGP Gp Aragon Repsol Honda – Dani Pedrosa finished the Gran Predio of Aragon, the fourteenth stage of the 2018 MotoGP, in fifth position.

The Spaniard, starting from sixth place, after a good start, managed to stay in the fight with the leading group, until the poor rear grip forced him to 'slow down', fighting with the rear grip.

“I think everything went pretty well in the race.” Dani Pedrosa told the story, then added: “We started with the leading group and I was able to overtake some riders, but unfortunately the hard rear tire had little grip. After the Moto2 race there was little rubber on the track and the rear tire slipped in corners. The soft rear tire probably would have been a better option. You have to pay close attention to this at the end of the race. I couldn't get any speed out of the corners onto the straights, so I fell behind and couldn't keep up with the group at the top. If I had had better grip with the rear tyre, I could have finished on the podium.”
