Dani Pedrosa, from being a tester, at 37, to leading the times in Jerez

Who had, retained, and Dani Pedrosa, at 37, shows that he could still give a lot of trouble in the MotoGP World Championship, despite the fact that he retired five years ago. The man from Castellar del Vallès, two-time world champion 20 years ago, has returned to a Grand Prix, this weekend's in Spain, as a guest driver (wild card) and in the first test he has risen to the top of the board.

Dani Pedrosa was the fastest in the first free practice of the Spanish GP, among the 24 riders on the MotoGP grid, which once again does not include his former teammate Marc Márquez, who is still out due to an injury to his right thumb.

The KTM rider surpassed Jorge Martín (Ducati) by 34 thousandths, and the Japanese Nakagami by 240, who once again placed a Honda in the top positions. Let's remember that Alex Rins was the last winner, in Austin, with his Honda LCR.
