Dani PEDROS after SHOCK: I had a lot of LUCK in Spielberg

Dani Pedrosa said he was very lucky not to get injured at the Styrian Grand Prix, where he was involved in a burning motorcycle accident.

Sleep after a two-year break from racing in MotoGP returned as a wildcard racer to the KTM team, and on Sunday’s race he fell in the third turn and got stuck in the middle of the track while other motorcycles whizzed past him until he reached the crash site Lorenzo Savadori, which collided with a motorcycle and fell, and both engines caught fire. The race was stopped, Savadori however, he injured his ankle in the fall, so this week on GP of Austria we will not see.

Pedrosa he was lucky as he was able to start the first race after again with a spare motorcycle Valencia GP 2018, which he finished in tenth place. "The first start was difficult because I don't know why I fell," he explained. “In the third lap, I may have driven off the track a bit, or the tires were too cold, as I was driving with a hard compound that was not ideal for these cold conditions. As I drove into a bend I simply slipped and spun in the middle of the track, and Savadori unfortunately crashed into my engine and injured himself. But I was very lucky myself. I don’t think I’ve ever been in a position like this before, so I was a little shocked when motorcycles whizzed past me on both sides. Fortunately, it turned out very well for me. ”
