It has been a more difficult start to the 2016 season for Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda Team) than the Spaniard is used to, but progress began well in Silverstone at the British GP as Pedrosa found more positive feeling straightaway on the long, demanding 5.9km circuit. Getting in a lot of dry running as the worst of the weather struck Moto2™ instead, Silverstone race lap record holder Pedrosa is happy with his initial feeling in the UK as he looks to get back on the podium; only a tenth behind teammate Marc Marquez after Day 1.
