Dani Pedrosa suffered another crash on Catalunya GP Qualifying, but manage to qualify on 8th position. The Spaniard admitted that he’s quite satisfied with the pace. Lorenzo took the pole position with Rossi second and Stoner third.

“I’m reasonably satisfied with my pace today, especially considering how things felt yesterday. We’ve qualified for the race and, although I’d have preferred to be on the front two rows, this position is OK,” said Pedrosa, who holds fourth in the world championship.

“In fact, I think I could have been a row further forward had I not had the crash in the last few minutes of qualifying - that’s the period when the best times are usually set.

“I went into the corner a little bit too fast and wide and had to run straight on. Then I saw the air fence and decided it was best to get off the bike.

“This morning I had an injection for the pain which worked quite well so I didn’t have another one for the afternoon, though it was becoming more uncomfortable by then.

“Tomorrow I’ll have another injection and we’ll try to take the best result possible in the race. It’s going to be extra hard work because of the heat, but there are a lot of my fans out there so I’ll be riding my hardest for them,” he declared.

Dani Pedrosa crashed out of the Mugello race yesterday on lap 13. He has to be carried with a stretcher, but so far medical tests hasn’t found further damage other than the one he got after his crash on free practice.

“On the dry bike I didn’t really have time to get used to the settings and track conditions because I lost the rear on my third lap out and crashed. It’s quite hard to find anything very positive to say right now, but I’m glad that I didn’t do any more damage when I crashed - that’s something.
