Dani Pedrosa therefore announced that at the end of this season, it would stay there. He will never be a MotoGP World Champion, and, even as a future Grand Prix legend, he will have the image of an eternal second. But the 33-year-old driver is also a shadow worker and his teammate Marc Márquez was keen to highlight this aspect of Dani's contribution to his own current dominance.

We all stand up for Dani! Since he made official what we suspected since speculation about the riders of the future Yamaha Petronas had increased, tributes have multiplied in favor of a rider who has no enemies in the paddock. There have been Red, but there is also a Marc Marquez who doesn't forget the elder who showed him the fundamentals of the RC213V:

« When I arrived in MotoGP, I knew how to ride a bike, I wasn't a bad rider, but I had to improve. I had the honor of having Dani as my stablemate. I learned a lot from him because he always did a good job. His physical condition has never helped him, but his technique, his style, is incredible. I learned a lot from him and during certain races he knew how to keep everything under control. He surpassed you on those occasions. I owe him so much, and we all always believed in him ».

« I shared the paddock with him, it was good, we had some great moments. I owe him a lot and I want to thank him. It was a real pleasure to have him as a teammate. He is one of those heroes that you have as a reference when you are a child and interested in motorcycles. And that was my case ».
