26 – Dani Pedrosa Fan Site

Although he hasn’t fully recovered, Dani Pedrosa said he’ll be back to race at Brno, Czech Republic on August 17th.

“The holiday period gave me a good chance to relax and recover, so I hope I will be fine for Brno,” he said. “When I returned from Laguna Seca my doctor told me I needed a week and a half of complete rest. I couldn’t train so I spent an enjoyable few days in Mallorca, disconnecting from everything and resting both my hand and foot. I had the stitches removed from my hand in Barcelona and then I started rehabilitation.
“The hand still hurts but the wrist has good mobility and the fingers are no longer swollen. The foot is still taped, just to avoid rough movements. I started training last week, mostly on my bicycle. I hope I can have a good race at Brno to start the second part of the championship in the best possible way.”

Crash.net has a Q&A with Patrick Isaaco, Dani Pedrosa’s Michelin technician. Patrick said that Dani Pedrosa has a fluid riding style, contrary to what people think about his [light] weight. This is because he likes to maintain stability and he doesn’t only think of the ease. Even if the tyre is a little hard, he is aware that if it can give him a better race performance he should use it. Contrary to what many people think we do not use the softest tyres.

On his latest blog entry posted on July 21st 2008 he thanked his fans for all the encouragement messages.
There’s a nice article on Repsol site about how his fans never stop supporting Pedrosa.
