MotoGP – Sepang Test Day 3 – Pedrosa disappointed by the rain

Damn rain. Very long trip, jet lag, and then in Sepang you find the rain. Too bad, too bad for Daniel Pedrosa, who today would have had to carry out endless tests (unbelievable, 80 laps of the track were planned, with a race simulation of 22 consecutive laps...) to recover what was lost in recent days. There wasn't the chance, but although Dani doesn't say it, her “deb” level is extraordinary. He only lacks speed in the rain and, the only doubt, endurance in a hypothetical 20-lap race in the final…

“Let's say that these tests went well until yesterday at noon,” said Pedrosa, “then the rain took its toll to undo the good things done so far. This morning we wasted a lot of time waiting for the track to dry, and in hindsight it would perhaps have been appropriate to try anyway... What remains good is what we did on the first day, and the hope that it won't rain again in Barcelona. I'm sorry not to have carried out the long-awaited race simulation, but for me now my thoughts are turned to the presentation of the Honda programs in Japan where I will be present, then I will return to London and finally to Barcelona for the IRTA Tests, where I would like to be the protagonist"
