With a good progression velocistiche Dani Pedrosa finished the opening day of testing at the Sepang International Circuit near the points leader Jorge Lorenzo. Best reference on fastest time 2'02 "033, only 3 tenths of a disadvantage compared to the Yamaha YZR M1 # 99 Honda RC213V 1000cc trying the same of the previous test at the Autodromo Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia.
On the seventh year by HRC rider, Dani Pedrosa will try tomorrow with a new chassis, developed from their racing department in recent months following the directions of the Spaniard (and Casey Stoner, of course).
" It 'been a good start. During the first few laps it was important to find the feeling , "says Dani Pedrosa. " Of course, being the first day, I felt a little 'hard and not completely smooth on the bike as usual, but we have completed several rounds with a good time. Today was mainly a test for myself, to regain confidence, feeling the gas and the brakes after the long winter break.
I've always shot with the bike that we had in Valencia in November. The real test will begin tomorrow, when we go to work on the development and probably will try a modified chassis, built by Honda according to our requests made in Valencia. "
