Spaniard Dani Pedrosa is to MotoGP what Felipe Massa and Mark Webber are to Formula 1. Just like Massa and Webber, Pedrosa came so close to winning the World Championship but frustratingly fell short. The two-time 250cc World Champion, Dani Pedrosa has been an evergreen rider over the years delivering consistent performances.
He is the youngest ever 250cc World Champion. Right from his 125cc debut in 2001 till 2018 when he announced his retirement from MotoGP, he has been an integral of Team Repsol Honda. When Honda decided to sign his compatriot Jorge Lorenzo for the 2019 season, Pedrosa decided to call it quits.
Pedrosa has won at least one race for 12 consecutive years from 2006 to 2017 - a record he shares with Italian great Giacomo Agostini. In 236 starts, Pedrosa stood on the podium 112 times - the most among those riders who have never won the MotoGP title.
