MotoGP 2021: KTM Red Bull Expects Pedrosas Role Again

Red Bull KTM will fully entrust their motorbike development project to the figure of Dani Pedrosa. The Austrian manufacturer seems very satisfied with the great influence of The Little Samurai - Pedrosa's nickname - as a developer racer.

This was previously conveyed directly by the KTM Team Manager, Mike Leitner. Seeing the impact, Leitner believes the Spanish rider is ready to make KTM's RC-16 even more dangerous this season.
Leitner did not deny that Pedrosa's presence had a big impact on the development of the RC-16 that KTM carried out during the last season. Knowledge about the bike as well as Dani Pedrosa's experience on the track had a positive impact on the Austrian manufacturer.

"There are many valuable things that Dani has done. He is one of the keys in this project. In the first years, we developed this bike almost only in racing week. We do not have the capacity and experience to conduct in-depth trials," said Mike Leitner, as reported by the MotosanGP page.
The former team-mate of Marc Marquez is working hard to develop the RC16 both on the track and at the KTM headquarters in Austria. Positive results began to be picked in 2020, through eight podiums.

Dani is a very intelligent person and has so much experience. If he makes our bike adapt to him and his height, maybe we will have problems with our other riders, "he said.

# Andrea Dovizioso criticizes the performance of Duo Petronas Yamaha SRT in MotoGP Doha 2021

Andrea Dovizioso gave an assessment of the performance of the duo of the Petronas Yamaha SRT Team riders, Franco Morbidelli and Valentino Rossi, when they were racing in the MotoGP 2021 season in the Doha series. Dovizioso criticized the performance of the two riders for not being able to talk much.

As is known, the Petronas Yamaha SRT Team did start their campaign in MotoGP 2021 with unsatisfactory performance. Yes, in the first two races that took place at the Doha Circuit, both Morbidelli and Rossi still had difficulty showing impressive performances.

In the race at the Qatar MotoGP in 2021, Morbidelli was only able to finish in 18th position, while Rossi was in 12th place. While in the Doha MotoGP 2021, Morbidelli was in 12th place and Rossi in 16th place.
Even though at the 2020 MotoGP, the Petronas Yamaha SRT Team was able to show truly extraordinary performance. Morbidelli even managed to complete the 2020 MotoGP world championship as runner-up.
With the less promising performance of the Petronas Yamaha SRT Team in the inaugural two races of MotoGP in 2021, many people began to doubt their chances this season. Although MotoGP 2021 still has 17 more series left.
The unsatisfactory notes made by Morbidelli and Rossi when paving at the Losail Circuit also received criticism from Dovizioso. Yes, Dovizioso admitted that he was surprised by the inability of Morbidelli and Rossi to appear competitive in the race.

“For me, it feels strange talking about Petronas and the factory team. Petronasi achieved good results last year, and I don't see them as 'Team B', so I don't think this result is the team's fault, "said Dovizioso, as reported by Tuttomotoriweb, Saturday (10/4/2021).
However, I also have nothing to say about Vale as only he knows the situation. Franky is also strange, because he was the fastest during the weekend, but then it was difficult to find good sensations, "he continued.
“But without blaming anyone, I think these kinds of things have happened a lot since the newest Michelin tire came. From the point of view of the show it is exciting, but I as a racer do not see it that way, ”said the Italian.
