In a world where existing digitally seems as important as breathing daily, Dani Pedrosa is an anomaly. The sum of his interventions on social networks makes him seem completely silent. And yet, the man exists: a million people follow him on Twitter and 1,2 million followers are claimed on his Instagram. A style that he embraces and which proves him right. He says he only speaks when he has something to say. Precisely, on this subject, this is the case…

Already, when he was a regular driver winning titles and victories, he was not very verbose. For the little phrase and the controversy Dani Pedrosa Was not a good customer. Except once, with Marco Simoncelli, which he always regretted after the grim reaper later took him… An experience that did not encourage him to do more behind a keyboard. But in any case, he is not that man.

« I know we need to be a little more active today in this regard, but it seems to me that some people do funny, stupid or at least unusual things because they are on social networks », he analyzes in the MotoGP podcast “Last On The Brakes”.

“I don’t do things that I wouldn’t do in real life”

« It's the only way to get attention », regrets the winner of 54 Grand Prix. “ I'm not the type of guy who does things he would never do in real life just to get likes or attention. I don't do anything like that. If I have something to say, I speak, otherwise, no ". So clear, we can't.

More Titanium is also aware of his times which can sometimes miss the essential. Thus, he remembers that, sometimes, although he won a race, he was not the main subject: “ Sometimes you're in the middle of it and you think, "Hey, I won the race," especially if your last win was a while ago “, he said. “ But deep down I say to myself: 'You can talk about whatever you want, I have my trophy!' I won for my team and the team knows it too. Of course, I want people to enjoy the performance. And when that happens, I'm also very happy. Otherwise, it doesn't affect me that much, because I'm happy with my performance ", ended Pedrosa.
