Dani Pedrosa: “When you stop running there is a precipice and you don’t know it”

MADRID, 26 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Spanish rider Dani Pedrosa, triple world champion, does not hide the fact that he was unaware that there was “a precipice” when facing withdrawal from motorcycle racing, although he is pleased that they warned him so that he would not suffer from it in a “so strong” way.

“When you stop running there’s a precipice and you don’t know it. Luckily it didn’t happen so hard to me because they had already warned me. It was Sete Gibernau who told me: ‘It’s going to be more than you think’. Before quitting, you are at such a high saturation level that you need that rest, but the problem comes later”, reflected Pedrosa in his visit to the ‘La Caja’ space on ‘DAZN’, a platform on which this season he has joined as Grand Prix commentator.

Regarding the fact of not being able to win a title in the ‘queen’ category, that of Castellar del Vallès, who this weekend will run the Spanish Grand Prix with an invitation from KTM acknowledges that if he had done so “there are things that would have been different” in his life. “It’s inevitable, but I don’t have it nailed down anymore. There was a lot of time that I did, but I had to exercise to get over it,” he admitted.

His time in the World Cup was also remembered for his rivalry, on and off the track and that went from more to less, with Jorge Lorenzo, especially in the 250cc. “There was a time in this country when there was more talk about 250cc than about MotoGP because we were ‘stung’. And then that was transferred to MotoGP for many years, but there has always been that one who came after the other, even if we didn’t fight for the victory. That ‘pique’ is from that we were very small”, warned.

Pedrosa also had a problem with falls, especially since he was almost always physically injured. “I don’t know if there is something in my body that makes falls affect me more. I fell three or four times a season, very little. I had to do the calculation because I was competing with Marc (Márquez) and he fell more than 30 times. I went through the operating room twice and he once or none, and at that moment you say: ‘It’s always my turn,'” he said.
