Valentino Rossi and Dani Pedrosa battled for several years at the highest level in MotoGP and The Doctor, who still follows closely the championship, said he is also looking with special attention to his former rival saying he feels happy to see him still very competitive.
Owner of the Mooney VR46 Racing Team, Rossi looks carefully at MotoGP, even more when someone like Pedrosa stands in, as he told quoted on Motosan: ‘I always follow Dani when he does wildcards, he had an amazing weekend in Misano. It was impressive that he was fighting for the podium in the sprint, but even more so in the race on sunday. I am very happy to see him so competitive. We have been racing together for almost 15 years’.
Pedrosa who also got to spend some of his time competing in four wheels, like Rossi on even Jorge Lorenzo, isn’t the most active driver as the #46 recalled: ‘ ‘He doesn’t do many races with the cars, but for the bike riders the cars are a lot of fun, because you have a similar feeling. With the bikes, Valencia is always complicated because with the bikes we come in november and sometimes it’s cold, so it’s better’.
