Repsol Honda rider Dani Pedrosa was left in a dejected mood after his race-ending fall at Brno on Sunday afternoon, explaining that he was far from on the limit when the crash occurred. The Spaniard now falls to fifth place in the championship standings behind Valentino Rossi, admitting that he ‘wasted an important race’ with the error.
"It was a shame. I lost the front and I crashed, that was it!" Pedrosa explained. "I was not even pushing so hard, I just took the lead and, well I may have tilted the bike too much, maybe the tyre was not warm enough, still I don't know.
"The problem is that I've wasted an important race that we had prepared for very well. I have to thank the team for the bike they gave me this weekend, it worked really well, and I will tell them I'm sorry for the mistake.
"It hurts because we were well prepared and finally the race was quite slow compared to the pace we did in practice sessions, but we cannot do anything, just think towards the next one and try to get back on top."
