Pedro has just revealed information that we hardly expected! He, who is considered Marquez’s best teammate, and it’s still true, actually had a bad time during this period, from Marquez’s arrival in MotoGP in 2013 to his own departure from the competition in 2018. is that each of the two had absolutely not the same conception of teamwork. At the HRC, he says, it’s the one who goes the fastest who is number 1 (that’s normal…). As a result, it is he who chooses the options proposed by the engineers, who decides the way forward. In fact when Marquez arrived in 2013, Pedrosa had been with Honda since 2006, we are after the legendary era of Doohan, Pedrosa is an important part of the team, he is several times vice-world champion. In short, he is an HRC star. Then Marquez arrives and grabs, from now on it is he who is the first of the rope and who opens the way. And who chooses the options to follow according to his feelings, not at all to improve the bike for the whole team as Pedrosa did. That said, Pedrosa also rode with Stoner at HRC, the Ozzie behaved a bit the same way, the Honda he was modifying was his, not the team’s. Marc Marquez confirmed that when he joined the team, relations with Pedrosa were strained. In fact, I write it often, pride is an absolutely necessary element in the life of a champion. To the point that when said pride is injured in one way or another, the champion can suffer. And if the same thing happens in a society or politics, it is also morally painful but there are few physical risks in getting on the podium or sitting on a board of directors. There we get in the saddle on something that sends 300 nags and we have to whip! There are drivers like Lorenzo for whom anger was a good advisor, for many others it’s either a bad patch or the beginning of a descent into hell. That’s how you have to understand Pedrosa’s disappointment to find that in fact, in terms of development, he was no longer the boss. Plus the one we listen to first. Honda paid for this policy very dearly since it took five years for another Marquez to win on Honda, Rins in the USA is a double deflagration in the world of MotoGP. I receive a lot of letters from readers who tell me that a new Marquez/Pedrosa duo at KTM would be a joy, I thought a bit like them, Pedrosa gave the answer, it’s surprising but it’s sincere… And when he says to himself, the main interested party does not deny moreover, that Marquez could change dairy, we know that there is one who would not like it …
