BAD Day for Birthday Boy Dani Pedrosa!!:/ Dani Pedrosa’s chances of a First MotoGP™ title took a major blow on Sunday, crashing out of the Gran Premio Iveco de Aragón as a result of passing contact with Marc Marquez, eventual winner and teammate at #RepsolHondaTeam. While running second and third behind #Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jorge Lorenzo on Lap 6 at #MotorLand Aragón, the #Honda duo made the slightest of touches at Turn 12. #Marquez, who at the time was running in third place, appeared to out-brake himself and run wide, with the contact causing a broken sensor on the rear Wheel of #Pedrosa’s bike. “After that, there was no more traction control and that is why Dani crashed. He is back in the garage and he is okay. As #Pedrosa - on his 28th birthday - retired from race for the first time this season, #Marquez went on to pass #Lorenzo and celebrate his seventh victory of 2013. #Marquez now leads Lorenzo by 39 points, with #Pedrosa still third but 59 in arrears Source: MotoGP #RepsolHondaTeam (HRC MotoGP)
