Dani Pedrosa and his fans at Motocard Barcelona

Yesterday rider Dani Pedrosa was mobbed by fans, first in Vic at the Gas store and then in the late afternoon and evening in Barcelona, at the Motocard 2 store. It was a great day for fans to see their favourite rider, and for him to gather more strength ahead of this weekend’s round at the Motorland Aragón Circuit.

The queue to receive a signed poster and a photo with Pedrosa was huge, as he is one of the riders who draws the most fans wherever he goes. Before facing that line of supporters, however, he spoke with the media waiting to interview him on the lower floor of the store.

We didn’t want to keep the fans who had been waiting for hours for the Catalan rider waiting, so we had a quick chat with him to hear how he felt ahead of the round at home, at the Motorland Aragón Circuit, and also how he felt seeing such a huge line of fans supporting him.

Pedrosa hopes to have a great weekend, enjoy himself at Motorland and get a good race, and of course see his fans enjoy themselves. He also greatly values the support of so many people, and he likes to get close to them, because he knows it matters to these fans to be able to see, approach and talk with their riders, especially those who cannot attend the Grand Prix.

An afternoon full of emotion: children, adults, women, men, an endless number of people who did not want to miss the chance to be close to the 26 before this round, since the decisive part of the championship is now arriving and it is time to make a name for yourself. We also saw gifts, giant posters, miniature motorbikes and drawings.
