Pedrosa: It's Unfair Situation for Honda

Dani Pedrosa Catalunya Test 2012

Dani Pedrosa set his best lap 1'42.342 on the Catalunya MotoGP test, and it was far from his best lap on the Sunday race. Pedrosa claimed that the new Bridgstone front tyre is the main problem now. It create new chatter on the front of RC213V. According to Pedrosa's statement, Repsol Honda team decided not to go to Aragon test.

Pedrosa said, "It was good to have a dry test to try some things on the bike. We made some improvements, but not enough to make a big step forward. We were basically trying to get the new front tyre working."

He continue, "We did many laps and tried different things with the chassis and forks, weight distribution on the bike and so on. We already had issues with chattering on the rear and now we have also with this new front. I will keep my mind open and keep trying hard with my team to improve the situation, but it's just an unfair situation for Honda."

"The reason they say for changing the tyre is safety, but at the moment it's not safe for us, we are riding on the limit every lap. We decided not to go to Aragon because we don't have the option to test the new front tyre there" said Pedrosa again.
