Dani Pedrosa didn't exactly have a dream day, the victim of a rude awakening after such as positive performance in Thailand. The Spaniard is not worried though, having made a good start to the day: ““We started the day well and did several good runs, considering that the track is always a bit dirty here the first day."
Then came the setback. Two crashes in rapid succession, which forced him to wave the white flag, though luckily he was not hurt.
"Unfortunately, I first had a small crash that might have been my fault, and a few laps later I had another, bigger one, in turn 2. I may have hit a bump there or went a bit off line, I don’t know; for sure that spot is quite tricky, and I lost the front very quickly. After that we decided to stop for the day. "
He now looks ahead to tomorrow, keen to get back to work.
“Apart from that, the feeling on the bike was quite good and we were able to keep a good rhythm. Tomorrow we’ll keep working on the bike’s setting and see how the track improves and which tyres we’ll use. This track is challenging, as conditions change from day to day, and also the temperature drops quite a lot when evening falls. We’ll need to do more laps to try and better figure out the general setup before going into more detailed testing.”
