Pedrosa satisfied with second row
30 August 2008Repsol Honda RC212V rider Dani Pedrosa recorded sixth fastest time at Misano this afternoon to put himself on the second row of the grid for tomorrow's San Marino Grand Prix, the 13th event of the 2008 MotoGP World Championship.

Pedrosa was satisfied with his performance, because it suggests he is getting back up to speed following the injuries he suffered in July's German GP and the difficult weekend he had at Brno a fortnight a go. The Spaniard spent much of today fine-tuning his RCV's suspension, including a revised Showa front fork which improves braking stability.
"I am quite happy because we have improved my lap times and tomorrow I will start from the second row, in the same grid position as last year here," said Pedrosa. "It will be important to make a good start because the first corner is very close to the grid and also quite tricky. I've improved my rhythm and this is really important to me because I am starting to go fast again. We worked a lot on the suspension today, the new fork gives me a positive feeling and it gives smoother performance during braking. I'm feeling very motivated but I still need some time to get back up to full speed."
