Donington Park MotoGP: Dani Pedrosa: “I feel a bit sorer now!”

Dani Pedrosa suffered his second crash in as many weeks today in a crash at Coppice Corner following a spill in Catalunya testing over a week ago.

Pedrosa, who said ahead of the race weekend that he was feeling sore, says he’s in a bit more pain now after his crash that couldn’t have helped his hurt back.

He said: “We were trying to concentrate on  our usual two days of work on set-up and tyre choice into today because the weather forecast says it may rain tomorrow.

“I felt quite sore when I got on the bike this morning and I feel a bit sorer now!

“I think maybe we were using a too-hard rear tyre when I crashed.

“But I didn’t do anything serious in the fall, so I got back out on the track as quickly as I could because I wanted to do as much work as possible before the rain comes.

“We are struggling a bit here. We have some ideas for tomorrow, so we hope we can get as much dry time as possible.”
