Pedrosa confident after topping first Friday

16 July 2010

Dani Pedrosa was yet to lead a Friday practice session in 2010 until today although the Spaniard is delighted to have begun his German Grand Prix weekend in the best possible way.

The factory Honda rider topped Friday’s Sachsenring timesheets with a best effort of 1:22.521, two tenths up on Casey Stoner’s Ducati as the second red bike of Nicky Hayden completed the top three.

“It’s great because for the first time this season I’ve got the best time on Friday and this is a very positive step for us,” the Sabadell man began. “We normally struggle initially but today we did a very good job in first practice and I’m very happy for this.

“It’s also a good result because tomorrow it could rain and so it was very important to get the basic setup fixed on the first day here. I hope we will have one more practice session in the dry tomorrow but it looks likely that at least one session will be wet.”
