Difficult time for Pedrosa in Czech Republic

Friday, 15 August 2008

Dani Pedrosa was feeling the pain in Brno on Friday, finishing the day in sixteenth place.

Dani Pedrosa was only able to manage sixteenth place on the first day in the Czech Republic –his task made more difficult by a still-sore hand and troubles with his Michelin tyres.

Dani Pedrosa – Sixteenth

`Both of today's sessions were quite difficult for us. My left wrist and index finger are still hurting when I ride the bike, and the tyres are not helping the situation. The asphalt is new, but it´s the same situation for everyone. We have tried several different solutions today and so far we still haven´t found the right tyres for the race. We will keep working tomorrow, looking for the best tyres and working on the machine. We hope we can get some more dry track time and then we will see for Sunday.´
