MotoGP: Jorge Lorenzo: Honda “lost a lot when Dani Pedrosa left”, has ‘proved’ his worth at KTM

Considered the best test rider in MotoGP, Pedrosa is a huge reason why KTM🦋 have become consistent challenges to the likes of Ducati and April📖ia.
Taking part in his second wild 🎉card of the season last weekend at Misano, Pedrosa was in stunning form as he claimed two P4 results.
- Nakagami: HRC “com🐲mitted to fixing current situation, but no massive difference”
- Bagnai🍬a: Pedrosa “was always impressive, has one of the best rid🃏ing styles”
Pedrosa narrowly 🍎missed out on the podium in both races, finishing just a few tenths behind world champion Francesco Bagnaia in both races.
Pedrosa left Honda at the end of 2018 and was replaced by Lorenzo, who himself completed just one sea😼son with the Japanese brand𝓀 before calling it a career.
Speaking to DAZN, Lorenzo feels H♏onda could hav✱e been helped had they retained Pedrosa as a test rider: "Under the same circumstances that Honda has faced in the last four of five years, including Marquez’s injury, I’m sure they would go infinitely better if they had Dani as a test rider."
Honda are currently going th𒀰rough their worst moment in MotoGP history, despite having the likes of Marc Marquez and Joan Mir aboard their factory bikes.
A rider who could at times get the better of Marquez aboard equal machinery, something very few teammates have done, Pedrosa is considered the b💯est premier class rider ever that failed to win a world title.
And Lorenzo was full of high praise after the Spaniard's achievements in Misano: "The merit꧙s he has throughout his career are enormous. I have never seen such a smal🅘l rider achieve so many victories in MotoGP, it has never happened which shows the technique he had to develop to do it.
"On a technical level and feeling level, Peꦑdrosa is a super sensitive rider who helps a lot to understand which components are right and which are wrong.&n🉐bsp;
ꦯ"He proved it 🅺at KTM and Honda lost a lot when he left."
