Configuration Changes have been Thwarted Pedrosa

Dani Pedrosa Le Mans 2012

Pedrosa couldn't do much on Le Mans circuit yesterday. The wet race was not belong to Pedrosa. After  warm up session. they decided to made a few changes on the bike. But it was not good for the race. The problem appear on gear 1 and 2, with no traction out of the corner.

Pedrosa explain, “I had no traction out of the corners, especially in first and second gear, and I wasn’t able to advance. We made a few changes to the configuration of the bike after warm-up, hoping to improve it a bit. In the end it was other way around, but these things can happen."

He continue, "In the race I immediately realised it was not my day, not a day to take risks and it was important to simply reach the best position. I was lucky – after the crashes of both Tech 3 Yamaha – to finish fourth. Wet races can be like this and today was just not our day. We lost many points to Lorenzo, but the Championship is very long and we will have our time."

For the next home race on Catalunya, Pedrosa is very enthusiast. He said, "This race is over and we must now think towards Catalunya. I’m really looking forward to going there. It’s a circuit that motivates me a lot and I will have all my family and friends with me. The team is working very well, we have a good bike and we’ve been fast in every race, but we need to be determined. Let’s see if we can speed up a little and take our first win of the season in Catalunya.”
