Dani Pedrosa will be a retiree at the end of this season. Whether he will be an active retiree or will he disappear from the radar, leaving only his name on a prestigious list of Grand Prix legends, we do not yet know. Honda and KTM, in any case, offered him a position as test pilot. In the meantime, he spoke about the arrival of his successor Lorenzo with the consequences that will result from it, while providing an element of reflection on the current difficulties encountered by Yamaha ...
Dani Pedrosa will therefore leave room for a Jorge Lorenzo who, after moving from Yamaha to Ducati, is embarking on a new challenge by jumping from Ducati to Honda. And what a bet since, opposite him on the track and next to him in the box, the Majorcan will have a certain Marc Marquez ! " They are two top drivers, we all know that » begins Titanium. “ Jorge knows what it's like to have a very strong teammate, he experienced that with Valentino Rossi. On the other hand, Marc is very strong. They will act on this situation and both drive to the limit ».
« Marc however has an advantage because he knows the bike and the team very well. Jorge will, however, have to adapt to both. There's going to be a lot of new things for him. The competition between the two of them is going to be very interesting ».
He ends his interview with speedweek with this reflection on Yamaha: “ Yamaha has a long history in Grand Prix with many victories. But it is a fact that for reasons that we do not know enough about, they have a problem ". Which ? Pedrosa lifts the veil: “ perhaps this is partly due to their engine. Now, you can solve a lot of problems, but not those concerning the engine because you cannot change it during the season. Ducati is now competitive on many tracks, their riders are good and the competition is so intense that the slightest problem means you end up with a lot of competitors in front of you ».
We will recall that Pedrosa had once been hoped for on the Yamaha petronas which will be the satellite machine of Iwata's firm. He declined this offer. Was he then aware of an engine problem on the M1?
