Dani Pedrosa

Damn, boy, you harsh, man.

I don't know who showed it, him or Pedroza.

Oh, that's a good question.

I'm going to look

that up.

Great Bambino.

And that's what happened to Pedroza that, you know, with him and Pete in Italia on the Honda.

And, you know, that's the unfortunate side.

It was the moment I thought, you know what, we're getting somewhere here.

And Danny Pedrosa was there as the guest of honor.

He was the, you know, alien elite MotoGP rider at the time.

And I can remember walking around the show and he was there doing his autograph sign and he had a queue.

So who's he

had? He's had Pedrosa.

He's had Lorenzo.

He's had Bagnaia, who just mentally destroyed him.

you'd be right.

But he just dominated every single one.

Yeah, Pedrosa was the hardest one.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It is such a respected racing league that, remember in, like, 2016, they had Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez, they got special Honda, um, Repsol race livery and they did, like, a two-lap exhibition race.

Yeah.

Oh, I think that was on, um, was that on the new, um, Honda Passports?

And this is the list of riders who won race, Grand- MotoGP races with the RC211V between 2002 and 2006, which was its last season.

Valentino Rossi, Toru Ukawa, Alex Barros, Sete Gibernau, Max Biaggi, Makoto Tamada, Nicky Hayden, Marco Melandri, Dani Pedrosa, Toni Elias.

Even Toni Elias w- won a race on it.

And so they built a bike that could be used by all kinds of different riders from Nicky Hayden, who rode with a very much with a dirt track, uh, style using the rear end, and to Dani Pedrosa, who, who, who, you know, rode it like a 250, corner speed and everything.

So that w- that was the kind of greatest achievement in it a way.

Would you agree with that, Peter?

But it's crazy.

Like, what other race, like, you've been to the European races, but what other race where you can just, like, roll into a restaurant? I remember having, like, you know, Dovizioso, Pedrosa, all these guys just eating around you.

It's crazy, especially on, like, a Wednesday night.

Yeah, it's so...

During that period, during the Marquez-Honda period, they did try to change the bike for other riders.

They did it with Danny Pedrosa.

They tried to turn it into a corner speed machine, and they couldn't do it.

You know, they found a bit of corner speed, but they lost more than they gained in the other areas where it had...
