🇪🇸 Dani Pedrosa's competitive showing at MotoGP Jerez was a reminder of how relevant his work as a KTM test rider is. And if you don't belive us, then believe Brad Binder! 🇿🇦
KTM’s Brad Binder has heaped praise on MotoGP ace Dani Pedrosa, calling him “the best test rider anyone can ask for”.Pedrosa raced in the premier class between 2006 and 2018, winning 31 times and finishing runner-up in the championship on three occasions – doing all of this with Honda.
Retiring at the end of 2018, Pedrosa joined KTM as its official test rider and has made two wildcard outings with the brand, in Austria in 2021 and in last weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez.Pedrosa stunned on his MotoGP return, topping FP1, qualifying sixth and finishing there in the sprint, while managing a fighting seventh in the grand prix.
The Spaniard’s wildcard outing was about gathering more data on the RC16 in race conditions, doing so at a venue around which he has cut countless laps. Commenting on how valuable Pedrosa’s input was over the Jerez weekend, in which KTM enjoyed double podiums in both the sprint and the grand prix, Binder said: “Dani has definitely done quite a few laps of testing here, but at the end of the day the way we started here over the weekend is the way we finished in America.“Dani did an unreal job for us this weekend. You can never forget how many times this guy has won and he’s more than special.
“There’s a lot to learn for him and we’re lucky to have him. He’s definitely the best test rider anyone can ask for.”
