Rider Repsol Honda, Dani Pedrosa, menunjukkan penampilan menawan di atas lintasan Sirkuit Sepang, Jumat (11/10). Rider asal Spanyol itu berhasil mendominasi dua sesi latihan bebas jelang Grand Prix Malaysia, Minggu (13/10).
Setelah bernasib sial di GP Aragon pekan lalu, Pedrosa seakan ingin membuktikannya di Sepang. Ia berhasil mengalahkan catatan waktu rekan setimnya, Marc Marquez.
Marquez tertinggal 0,367 detik pada sesi latihan pertama. Pada sesi kedua, selisih waktu Marquez melebar menjadi 0,533 detik dari Pedrosa.
Posisi tiga menjadi milik pebalap Yamaha. Pada sesi pertama Jorge Lorenzo finis di peringkat ketiga, sedangkan pada sesi kedua giliran Cal Crutchlow yang berkuasa.
