Bird Strike As Pedrosa completes 20 Lap Run
Dani Pedrosa ended the day in second position for on the sole Honda, in the process completing a 20-lap run despite the bird strike.
“Today we tried two more tyres with a different construction - but with
the same compound - and the feeling was not great with them,” Pedrosa
admitted. “In any case, we picked the best of what we have tried over
the past two days and put in 20 laps with those tyres. That experiment
worked rather well, but it's really Bridgestone who have to analyse the
data and give us their feedback for us to work with tomorrow.”
27-lap race simulations are the target on the third and final day,
although rain is set to hit the Australian circuit. Pedrosa is the only
Repsol Honda representative as World Champion Marc Marquez continues to
recover from a broken leg at home in Spain.
