Despite his injury and having qualified (from practice session) in 11th place, Dani Pedrosa managed to push hard and finally finished on 3rd place. Meanwhile, Jorge Lorenzo won the race and his teammate, Valentino Rossi finished on second place.
This result put Pedrosa on 5th position in MotoGP World Championship with 21 points, under Lorenzo (41pts), Rossi (40), Stoner (38), and Dovizioso (22).

Crash.Net quoted him saying:

“I’m very happy with this result,” said Dani. “I’ve had injury problems for a long time – since last October – and so to be on the podium in the second race of the season is fantastic for me, and really we didn’t expect this so soon.

“I got a good start – the start was really the key part of my race – and I was able to get away with the front group. I couldn’t really believe it when I stayed with them because I was expecting to drop back after maybe one or two laps. But then it was lap five or six and I was still there and I was thinking, ‘this is unbelievable’,” he added.

Complete result under the cut.

Dani blogged on April 14th. You could read it HERE.

I tried to translate it to English with google translator, but some parts were incomprehensible.

Do I need to learn Spanish? Or, is anyone willing to translate his blogs to English? If you’re interested email me on admin[dot]danipedrosa[at]gmail[dot]com
