A documentary on Dani Pedrosa has just been made. It aims to show his most unknown side. The Spanish rider also received a special motorcycle, made for him.
Wednesday December 19, a new documentary on Dani Pedrosa will see the light of day. Titled “The Silence of the Samurai” and produced by Red Bull media, it focuses on everything we have never seen from the Sabadell driver during his 18 years in the World Championship. The hidden side of the “little samurai” is shown through his statements and those of those who know him best, that is to say his family, his friends, his mechanics, his rivals and journalists. More than 500 hours were necessary to complete this 33-minute project, which we have already a superb trailer.
The documentary will be broadcast for the first time on Wednesday at 21:30 p.m. during the Spanish program Vamos, transmitted by Movistar. It will then be possible to see it on Red Bull TV from January 15. After “Dani Pedrosa: Elegido para ganar”, produced following his second 250cc title in 2005, here is a new documentary on the Catalan driver but which, this time, will show us a completely different vision of him. During his career, his reserve was his main character trait, but this time we will know details never revealed. He confided thus: “I had so much difficulty making myself understood, sometimes I told myself that I was not made for this world”, although he also refers to his numerous injuries which have impacted his career. In the documentary we will see his parents, Basilia Ramal and Antonio Pedrosa, as well as Alberto Puig (with whom he had an altercation in recent days), Marc Marquez, Jorge Lorenzo, Kevin Schwantz, Juan Martinez and Carmelo Ezpeleta.
In addition to all these appearances, we will also see Mike “Woolie” Woolaway, the marketing director of the American brand Deus, who created a cafe racer exclusively for Pedrosa. 500 hours of work were necessary to create this machine which “captures the spirit of the pilot. » Named by Woolaway "the sword of the little Samurai", it is equipped with a 750cc two-stroke Honda engine, with 70 HP of power. He explained : “This is a very light and fast motorcycle. Dani is an honest and upright boy, I'm really happy this is for him. »
