Dani Pedrosa knows Honda well, he has spent his entire career with them. Three world titles in passing, three times vice-world champion in MotoGP with 31 victories, and this while riding with Marquez! It is therefore obviously he who knows him best.
Because during this time Marquez had four passages on the pool table, it seems you have found the method to finally drive with both arms! But Pedrosa does not doubt the talent of his former teammate: ” Marc a special ability to win with bikes that may not be perfect”. In an interview with Spanish channel DAZN, he recalls his years with Marquez, seeing him able to adapt to any problem.
Pedro: “When we moved from Bridgestone to Michelin, I had a lot of difficulty, but he, despite that, won the championship and adapted to the tyres. In the end, Márquez took advantage of any situation and his talent led him to be fast in all conditions and with any type of configuration on the bike. : “I had moments when the bike was very good, when it was going very fast. But when I wasn’t so good, it was harder harder for me to go fast, I had that. Marc no, it’s the opposite.
“I had good teammates, like Stoner or Marc. At that time, I considered myself as good as them, no less. Marc is a different driver. On track it is impressive. We were watching telemetry together and he was doing special things, I was like “I don’t know how he does that”, things I couldn’t match. And in addition, he had an incredible ability in his ability to repair injuries.
In short, in 2020, no results, he was sent back to the track too early, it’s incomprehensible. My orthopedic friends, and that’s heavy, worldwide, were horrified that he took over the handlebars. In short, zero results. In 2021, he won three times, he made four podiums, won 172 points overall where he was seventh! With all the same 22 falls in fourteen courses! In 2022, after a terrifying high side in Indonesia, it was diplopia that prevented him from riding. But he goes back to the pool table for the fourth time, the injured bone had gone into a thirty-degree rotation, his American and Madrid surgeons were prodigies. In short, for this coming year 2023, Pedrosa is quite confident. By the way in his choice of the three best drivers for 2023, Agostini cited, like Bastianini moreover, Marquez, Bastianini and Quartararo. Not Bagnaia. The tension is rising, and not only in El Pao!
