Dani Pedrosa tells Jorge Lorenzo a back-story which would have changed history
The old rivals were sat inside a boxing ring on Spanish television, grilling each other about their fierce rivalry.He told Lorenzo: “When you left Yamaha and went to Ducati.“And since I was your rival I always wanted to ride your bike because of its qualities, I wanted to see myself riding on one.By the end of 2016, Lorenzo had won his three MotoGP championships, each time with Yamaha.
After finishing third in the standings in 2016, behind champion Marc Marquez and Valentino Rossi, Lorenzo left for an ultimately ill-fated move to Ducati. There appeared to be a vacant Yamaha when the Japanese manufacturer seemingly failed to recruit Suzuki’s Vinales.Instead, it wasn’t to be, and Yamaha eventually brought in Vinales.
Pedrosa remained at Honda for the rest of his career as a full-time rider, retiring as the most successful-ever MotoGP rider without a championship. He is now instrumental in KTM’s rise as their test rider, and has wowed a new generation in wildcard appearances.Lewis Hamilton convinced Mercedes “lost performance” despite his best qualifying of F1 2024McLaren team member discharged from hospital after F1 paddock fire
