Biografia

"Dani Pedrosa finished third in the 125 World Championship in 2002 before taking the title the year after with time to spare. Moving up to the 250 World Championship the following year, Pedrosa then won that crown as a rookie and subsequently defended it despite suffering with injury. The Spaniard then moved up to MotoGP™ in 2006 and took two wins in his rookie year, including his fourth ever race in the class. A consistent frontrunner and title challenger, including taking the most wins in MotoGP™ in 2012, Pedrosa’s career has been plagued by some injuries – but the Sabadell native won at least one Grand Prix in every season of his career since 2002. In 2014, Pedrosa suffered problems with arm pump and early the following season underwent major, career-saving surgery. Finishing the year on a high with two spectacular wins once back to full strength, the Spaniard also won in Misano in 2016 after a tough season. Breaking his collarbone in Motegi, the 3-time World Champion was back to full strength for 2017 and kept his incredible record of at least one win a year rolling, taking victory in Jerez and Valencia. 2018 would prove the Spaniard's final season as a MotoGP™ racer, as he called it a day after failing to register a win or podium finish all year. Having ended his long association with Honda, Pedrosa soon signed a deal with KTM to take on the role of test rider and has proved instrumental in the Austrian manufacturer’s rise towards premier class wins and podiums. The Spaniard made his first wildcard appearance on the RC16 at the 2021 Styrian GP, and he'll once again line up on the grid at the 2023 Spanish GP with KTM - at his beloved Jerez. "
