Dani Pedrosa is now pre-retired since he himself announced that his career in MotoGP would end at the end of this year. For his last upcoming performances, we hope he will be at the forefront to enjoy him a little longer. But it is clear that this final bouquet will probably not take place on the Sachsenring this July 14 weekend...
And yet, the German track is a friend of the Hondas while the teammate of Marc Márquez which has dominated since 2013 in the premier category, also boasts a solid track record: successes in 2007, 2010, 2011 and 2012, without forgetting two achievements in 2004 and 2005 with a 250cc. Add to that, four podiums and a pole position.
And yet, here he is, a sad twentieth at the end of this Teutonic Friday: “ for a Friday, the times were generally quite fast » comments “titanium”. “ Unfortunately, I didn't find the right sensations on my bike and I particularly had problems with my front fork. I didn't make any progress from one session to the next so the sensations remained bad ».
That being said, we note that it is not far from a Valentino Rossi seventeenth or one Johann zarco eighteenth… This German Grand Prix definitely had many surprises in store for us!
