Like his teammate, Dani Pedrosa scored 6 victories on the German Sachsenring circuit.
But while Marc Marquez has won there the last 6 years, we have to go back a little further for number 26; 4 in MotoGP in 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2007, to which should be added 2 successes in 250cc in 2005 and 2004.
Nevertheless, the driver who has spent his entire career with Honda is approaching the German event with pleasure and optimism, even if he has still not completely digested the decision of the Race Direction in Assen...
Dani Pedrosa: “I really like the Sachsenring; it’s definitely one of my favorite tracks on the calendar. I have very good memories there and, with my team, we will try to make the best use of what we have learned in the last races. It was a shame not to be able to get a better result in Assen, where our strategy was perfect for the first part of the race, but the positive thing is that we know we worked well in demanding conditions. We will try to do the same in Germany. »
