Dani Pedrosa has good karma at the moment. He remains in three consecutive Top 3s, which has not happened to him since 2014 and, for the first time since Assen in 2013, he finds himself better classified than his teammate Marc Márquez in the championship. Second overall behind Viñales, he also remembers winning at Mugello in 2010. What if 2017 was the opportunity to clean up the shelves?
Marc Márquez has listed him among his favorites for the race since a Friday spent working hard on his tires and settings in preparation for the Grand Prix. This Saturday he gave himself the means to do well on Sunday by registering in fifth place on the starting grid. His 1'46.999 is only two tenths behind the leading Yamaha and he seems calm for the rest of the events, while the competition is still procrastinating over which tires to take.
In fact, its 265rd start in Grand Prix which puts him at the level ofAngel grandson could well offer a nice arrival to the HRC official: “ I think we had a good qualification » declares the Spaniard, visibly much more delighted than his stablemate on the subject. “ It wasn't so easy because it's easy here to lose places as soon as a driver follows you. But on balance, I am fifth, which is satisfactory ».
He specifies : " It's also true that the lap times weren't that fast, and that's probably because it was very hot. We worked to collect as much information as possible for the choice of tires. There are a lot of riders with good pace, but we stay focused on our bike and our tires to get the most out of it. You will have to get a good start, be strong during the first laps and keep a good pace ».
There's just !
