Honda: Pedrosa is still a top racer

Honda boss Livio Suppo claims that Dani Pedrosa, despite not yet becoming a world champion in the elite class, is one of MotoGP’s top racers. The Spaniard has won 26 races in the Honda factory team in nine seasons, but has not yet won the world title, and has been overshadowed by teammate Marc Maruqez in the last two seasons. Pedrosa was the first to beat Marquez this season. This happened at the Czech Grand Prix in Brno, and later the Spaniard slipped to fourth place in the championship, behind both Yamaha racers, Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo. Suppo claims that it is not only Dani who is to blame for the lack of points, but he cited the collision with Andrea Iannone in Australia as an example. "Denmark is a bit sorry for me as he was in second place in the overall standings almost all season," he said.

Dani Pedrosa and Jack Miller "competed" on the streets of Mellbourne to promote motor sports. Jack Miller is a KTM racer in the Moto 3 class. But along the Yarra River, he showed himself in a much better light. It wasn't a full throttle ride, but they showed the ride on the back wheel, which racers usually perform when celebrating victory through the finish line. However, this kind of maneuver did not work best for the Spaniard, as he took care of the fall. He did not suffer any injuries. But surely someone laughed at his expense. After the ride, he said it happened because the car itself is not ready to drive around the city, but for the racetrack. Overall, however, he was thrilled with this kind of experience: "It was great to get a chance to take part in a ride along the Yarra River here in Melbourne," j
