MotoGP Sepang, Qualifying: Dani Pedrosa “Today was very difficult with the chattering”

Difficult qualifying for Dani Pedrosa in Sepang, the sixteenth and third last stage of the 2012 world championship. The Repsol Honda Team rider had a lot of chattering, but still managed to grab the front row of the Malaysian Grand Prix, his thirteenth front row out of sixteen GPs held this year.

“Today was very difficult because we had a lot of chatter – even on the straight! – and it was really difficult to drive and make “clean” lines. However, we managed to get onto the front row once again and second place is good. The pace is really high and after losing the second free practice session yesterday, today we had to work hard to find the best set-up. I just hope I don't have all the chatter I had this afternoon in the race! The weather can also play a big role tomorrow, so we just have to wait and see what happens tomorrow.”
