Pedrosa keeps on covering stages in MotoGP

3-10-2006

After these first tests in front of the Spanish fans, can you say that you feel any kind of pressure?

DP : "No, it's been just another test for me, and what I want to do is to keep on doing my job. It's true that people are expecting a lot from me, I have felt it because many people came out this weekend and asked me when I'm going to start winning races... The most important for me and my team today is not winning, but moving forward and progressing. Important will be whatever we achieve at the first race and the next, and the next no matter whether it's good for the public or not. As long as it is good for me, it will be enough for the team and for me."

What is missing right now to start thinking about being competitive in the new class?

DP : "Look, for example, there are classes where you can win if you only have talent; there are other classes where you can win just because you have a good bike... But in this class you need talent, a good bike, good tyres, a good team... You need to have everything in its place and experience, a lot of experience, and right now that is exactly what I don't have."

Conclusions of Dani Pedrosa after the tests in Barcelona...

DP : "The conclusions are... right now all conclusions are positive for me because this has been the first time I have been lapping with the MotoGP bike on this circuit. If I would come back next week and do it worse, then they would be negative; but it has been my first time here, I changed the circuit. I arrived being used to Malaysia, and the bike did not have the same behaviour as in Sepang, I had been testing for a longer time there... What we have experienced this weekend in Barcelona is what we are going to find this season. At least until mid-year I'll spend Friday and Saturday of the race discovering new things, because I won't know the bike well, neither the circuits, because the references have probably changed a lot."
