Dani Pedrosa he is riding with KTM in the MotoGP pre-season tests. The Spaniard is still fully involved in the team developing the 2023 bike, although he did not want to make his times public in the first tests: he is not using the ‘transponder’.
Francesco GuidottiKTM main team, has spoken about Pedrosa’s decision: “It’s a kind of old school habit, when in tests they tended to hide things a bit.”
Speaking to ‘GP One’, Guidotti says that Pedrosa “is calmer like this”: “If he wants to say the weather he did, he’ll say it.”
“I don’t know if everyone has been using the transponder all the time, some play the game and take it away sometimes,” he says.
Pedrosa wants to continue working with the team and has no date to get off the bike again: “Dani still wants to continue, but It is not known for how long.”
About jonas folgerwho has also ridden in the tests, expect more “involvement”: “Follow in Dani’s footsteps even with this approach and desire to get involved. Before putting him on the track together with the others, he must reach the level”.
