Dani Pedrosa once again showed why he is widely regarded as one of the best MotoGP riders of all time and, despite his advanced age and being away from the tracks in recent years – with three wildcard appearances since 2018 – he once again showed his class on the track at the San Marino GP, with Brad Binder heaping praise on the KTM test rider.
The #26 managed to secure two fourth places, in the Sprint race and on Sunday, with Binder showing admiration for the talent and assistance of the manufacturer’s test rider: ‘It was fantastic to have Pedrosa this weekend. Honestly, I think we are all struggling a bit, but he was always there and we could use his data and, well, beyond what we learned in the test, he definitely helps us reach another level, but yeah, I didn’t finish on Sunday, but I think it could have been good’.
Binder también fue cuestionado sobre el chasis de fibra de carbono, que ya fue probado por Pedrosa e incluso por él mismo, sin embargo aún no sabe cuándo estará disponible a tiempo completo:
– No sé cómo funciona o cuándo puede llegar o lo que sea, es un poco complicado para ser honesto, solo he conducido la cosa. Les dije que participaría y pensé que, una vez estuviera listo, lo podría montar.
