The desire to close the gap with the leader, Jorge Lorenzo, in the 13th round of the season, which will take place at the Misano circuit (147-16/9) expressed the Danny Pedrosa.

The Spanish rider said he hopes his bike will perform better than in previous years at the Italian circuit.

"In the past our bike was not stable on the Italian circuit, but I believe that this season we will improve. I hope the work we have done in the tests in Brno and Aragon will help us to be competitive in Misano.

It's a tough track, with many brakes and accelerations. We must continue to work in the same way, to concentrate on our bike and close the gap in the championship", were the words of the Spanish rider. The difference between the two riders in the Moto GP championship is 13 degrees.
