At the end of this season, a big name in the MotoGP category will bow out. Dani Pedrosa, at 33, will retire. A decision of its own while an interesting one Yamaha petronas was promised to him. From the height of his 54 victories, his three world crowns, his 49 pole positions and his 153 podiums, he will now watch his colleagues from the side of the track. Jorge Lorenzo, the one who will succeed him within the HRC, pays tribute to him.
Dani Pedrosa will therefore change his life, but the world of Grands Prix already tells him that he will always think of him. Dorna, the organizer, will call him a legend and could find him a mission while at HRC we would like to take advantage of his broad skills as a test pilot.
For its part, Jorge Lorenzo commented : " I totally understand his decision. I too thought about retiring during my career. Everyone in the paddock would have liked to have Dani in this championship for years to come. And also see it on another motorcycle. It would have been interesting to see it on a Yamaha ».
« I too have come to think that we can look at life differently. Without the pressure, without the injuries, which races also bring. From this point of view, I understand very well the meaning of his decision. He has been one of the five best drivers in the world over the last fifteen years. Dani can be proud and happy of what he accomplished ».
