Even there is still same problem appear, but overall, the enigne is good. Pedrosa also told that both Honda and Yamaha are on the same level this year.
Dani Pedrosa:
"It was a good race and I'm happy. We had many problems throughout the weekend and left very late on Sunday. But I'm very happy and so the idea is to follow in the coming races, although it is true that we missed the victory in the final section. I hope this is my year. We will do the most it can at all levels and as always I like to do, think about going race by race. And then see what happens. I hope you have a little luck this season, because the truth is that in recent years has lacked a bit of everything, mostly because of injuries. Let's see if we are lucky and I can run all the races, I can be up, set good times and I can have the opportunity to compete with others on an equal footing"
"We have some problems, but the engine is going well and the bike is good. To see if we can improve racing a little more and that these defects disappear completely. Honda and Yamaha are pretty much the same this season, more similar than ever in the level. It is true that every bike has its own characteristics and have their own shortcomings and their own virtues. But Honda and Yamaha are similar this season, as we saw in the first race. We will have a busy year in MotoGP odds, both on bikes and in the drivers'
"In the first race we have seen how things are. No one can speak of clear favorite, but all we get an idea. It is a year to make fewer mistakes, to be very consistent and try to score as many points in every race.
