“Wildcards are not personal choices, we must have important reasons to come and try. I have done two fourth places, I can't ask for more, but being so close to the podium, I would have liked to be able to feel it again,” says Pedrosa. , who raced this year in Jerez and Misano, where he was fourth, in 'Test rider: Dani Pedrosa', a documentary that 'DAZN' broadcasts this Friday to discover the Catalan's work as a test rider at KTM.
