Dani Pedrosa topped first practice for SpanishGP and earned a direct spot into Q2, but the KTM wildcard says finishing on the podium in the sprint race will be a tall order. MotoGP
The 31-time MotoGP race winner is making a wildcard appearance this weekend at Jerez with KTM, marking just his second outing since retiring from full-time competition at the end of 2018.
Pedrosa says his speed has been “unexpected”, but he feels he would be getting ahead of himself if he was to start thinking about podium challenges in Saturday’s sprint race. “But some of the riders were really fast but the track was worse. But overall, we are happy. Going into Q2 is not something that’s easy to do.“Anyway first, we have qualifying and then in the race you have to do overtakes.
