The former Spanish centaur identifies a difference between the compatriot and the Doctor
During an intervention at the microphones of the Podcast "Por Orejas", the former Honda centaur Daniel Pedrosa, among other topics discussed, è bluntly expressed himself on the differences in attitude, decisions and ambitions over the years between Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez.
"I believe that in Valentino’s case his choices have always been made with more heart, love and affection for the brand. Marc, on the other hand, è passed over all, doing whatever was necessary for himself. He wants to win at all costs and preferred to move into the winning bike rather than preserve the human relationships built over the years. C'è who canè consider this attitude as something positive or negative" began the former Honda centaur.
" Jorge Martin has done everything and more" to deserve the factory Ducati. I want to think that he could not have done more. So I don’t know what weapons Marquez used to get the upper hand nè what the strategies behind it are. I ignore them, but in any case è he went from the bike that brought him to prominence (the Honda) to the most competitive bike currently on the grid. It was very difficult to expect him to be able to adapt well to the new bike in such a short time" added the KTM test rider.
"I was surprised when he said in Holland that he was about to retire from racing, although I never had the feeling that he was going to quit. Rather I understood that he could not continue in that situation with Honda. But it è normal to understand that any rider who wants to be a winner cannotò stay many years in a negative environment, as could happen now to Joan Mir. In any case, the abilityà that Marc had to get back up è something impressive" concluded Daniel Pedrosa.
