Overtaken by Maverick Vinales in the championship standings at Silverstone, Dani Pedrosa regained his 4th place at Misano, thanks to a clever alchemy based on soft tires and a wingless fairing.
The 4th wheel of the Fantastic Four carriage therefore approaches Aragon with confidence, especially since its results there are rather very brilliant, with a victory in 2012, and three second places in 2010, 2011, and of course 2015 after a bitter battle with a certain Valentino Rossi.
Dani Pedrosa: “Of course, we will arrive in Aragón with a good state of mind, since things that had already started to improve two or three races ago went perfectly in Misano, and we were able to achieve a superb result. Either way, it's important that we keep our feet on the ground because the races are very close and hard-fought this year. We need to stay fully focused on our work and our goals, which are to continue to extrapolate from the basic settings we have been working on recently, and find the rhythm to stay at the front. My fan club will be here and I will do my best to put on a good show for the fans. »
