Dani Pedrosa Visits Honda Racing School in Indonesia

Following the US Grand Prix, Repsol Honda Team rider Dani Pedrosa took time to visit the Sentul race circuit as a guest instructor at the Honda Racing School for two days. The Spaniard advised 16 Indonesian students between the ages of 11 and 15. The rider also took a few laps on a 110cc Honda Blade in Repsol Honda Team colors, one of the machines used by the school.

It was Pedrosa's first time in Indonesia and the first official visit to the world's fourth most populous country by a Honda MotoGP rider.

"It was really good fun to ride the 110cc Blade!" Pedrosa said in a release."Of course it has very little horsepower compared to my RC212V, but I think it's very good for the kids to start understanding how to ride a bike, to be familiar with the gears and the
necessary riding style".

Pedrosa also said to the children: "The best advice I can give you is to follow your instincts from the heart and to have fun on the bike. You have one opportunity in life, so you have to remember this and give it your all. When I started I was also very small, but I had a lot of passion.”

"I could never imagine that I would be racing in the World Championship, but I was very lucky to be part of a project - as you are now - so you have to keep dreaming and work hard to make your dreams reality,"
Pedrosa concluded.
