That makes for good reading, and understandably Pedrosa is positive ahead of the mid-point of the season.

“I look forward to the race at Sachsenring, a track that I like,” says Pedrosa. “In the second part of the race at Assen, we managed to lap at a better pace than we did during the rest of the weekend, so we’ll try and build on that at Sachsenring.
