26 - Dani Pedrosa Fan Site

Although he hasn’t fully recovered, Dani Pedrosa said he’ll be back to race at Brno, Czech Republic on August 17th.

“The holiday period gave me a good chance to relax and recover, so I hope I will be fine for Brno,” he said. “When I returned from Laguna Seca my doctor told me I needed a week and a half of complete rest. I couldn’t train so I spent an enjoyable few days in Mallorca, disconnecting from everything and resting both my hand and foot. I had the stitches removed from my hand in Barcelona and then I started rehabilitation.
“The hand still hurts but the wrist has good mobility and the fingers are no longer swollen. The foot is still taped, just to avoid rough movements. I started training last week, mostly on my bicycle. I hope I can have a good race at Brno to start the second part of the championship in the best possible way.”

Crash.net has a Q&A with Patrick Isaaco, Dani Pedrosa’s Michelin technician. Patrick said that Dani Pedrosa has a fluid riding style, contrary to what people think about his [light] weight. This is because he likes to maintain stability and he doesn’t only think of the ease. Even if the tyre is a little hard, he is aware that if it can give him a better race performance he should use it. Contrary to what many people think we do not use the softest tyres.
