Seventh time on the first day of testing in Australia, Dani Pedrosa finished 0.784 behind his teammate Marc Marquez.
According to Dani, “ I think we started this test in a positive way. Of course, some time has passed since I drove on this track, because last year I was withdrawn from this GP and I had to do a few laps to refamiliarize myself with it.
“Anyway, the first feelings were pretty good. We didn't work much on the electronics today because we focused more on adjusting the fork to find a good feeling with the bike.
“Tomorrow we will focus on electronics, because we need to find a good configuration base. We hope to take another step forward, as this will help us with each track. »
