Dani Pedrosa

Daniel Pedrosa Ramal (born 29 September 1985) is a Spanish former Grand Prix motorcycle racer. He won three Grand Prix world championship titles: in the 125cc class in 2003, the 250cc class in 2004, and the 250cc class in 2005. He is the youngest champion of all time in the intermediate (250cc/Moto2) class.

In 2006, Pedrosa moved into the MotoGP class to ride for Repsol Honda, where he would remain for the next thirteen years. He took 31 race wins and 112 podiums during this time, and finished as championship runner-up in 2007, 2010 and 2012. He is often cited as the best rider to never win a MotoGP championship. He retired from regular competition at the end of the 2018 season. In 2019, the former Curva Dry Sac, a corner at the Spanish Circuito de Jerez, was renamed Curva Dani Pedrosa (English: Dani Pedrosa Corner) in his honour.

Pedrosa currently works as a test and development rider for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing. In 2021, he raced for KTM as a wildcard rider in Austria at the Styrian Grand Prix, and finished tenth. He raced again in 2023 at Jerez, where he placed seventh in the main race and sixth in the sprint, and in Misano, where he finished fourth in both races. He has also dabbled in car racing: he competed in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe in 2022, driving for the FFF Racing Team.
