Dani Pedrosa is about to return to the track. The official test rider as well as KTM mentor will be back in action at the Misano circuit in mid-April for a private test session. A precise date has not yet been set, but it is known that it will be between the 8th and the 11th depending on weather conditions, a warm-up for the commitment that will see the Spanish rider again suited and booted in Jerez on the 28th of the month. On the track dedicated to Angel Nieto, the 39-year-old will not be alone, but will be joined by the four riders under contract - Pedro Acosta, Brad Binder, Enea Bastianini and Maverick Vinales - the latter one being official tests.
With this announcement, the rumors that wanted him on a collision course with the Mattighofen brand have been put to rest. Indiscretions erupted in Argentina when the Spaniard turned up working for DAZN, for which he is a pundit, with his clothing full of personal sponsors, but without the logo of the Austrian manufacturer.
It must be said that his position as an official tester was confirmed last November 12, that is, about a month before the issue related to the company's financial crisis broke out, but since then only at the Sepang shakedown was he allowed to ride. As things stand, it also seems unlikely that he will be seen at the start of a race this year as a wild card.
