The end of the journey Dani Pedrosa as a Grand Prix driver in general and a Honda official in particular turns more in a painful procession than in a final bouquet. The results are no longer there and the Spaniard vegetates in the anonymity of the peloton while his teammate heads straight towards a new coronation. Worse, it seems that it is considered a negligible quantity at the HRC…

Between Honda and Dani Pedrosa it seems that we are dealing with current affairs before any accounts are settled. We will indeed recall that the pilot announced his retirement at the end of this year, and that he will have Jorge Lorenzo as successor. We don't know what he will do with his free time. He declined the offer of a Petronas Yamaha to better confirm his withdrawal from active service while the role of test rider for KTM would be more than worth considering.

But there is still one season to finish. And this der could have a bitter taste by registering as the first without the slightest success. A prospect which appears all the more clearly as its RC213V no longer seems to be a priority for the HRC. Titanium said at Silverstone: “ I had the opportunity to have the carbon swingarm. But unfortunately I broke it when I crashed in Jerez. I asked them to bring me another one. But since then I've been waiting for it ».

He finishes : " it's a new part that takes time to make. So she hasn't arrived yet ". And it may never happen since rumor has it that Pedrosa no longer receives the slightest new part, due to the fact that his days are now numbered in the team. Honda is logically focusing on its spearhead Marc Marquez. And then what's the point of benefiting from developments to a rider who would then go to work for KTM?
