Pedrosa aiming to maintain consistency and fight for victory at Indianapolis

After the traditional summer break, the MotoGP World Championship reconvenes this weekend for the Indianapolis Grand Prix. This is the first of the final eight events of 2012 and the Repsol riders have not neglected their training over the past few weeks.

The legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway — 4.216km in length — has been a good circuit for the Repsol Honda Team. Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa took a one-two there last year, the former earning the race win, fastest lap and pole position. Pedrosa won in 2010 and is chasing his second win of the season this year, plus his seventh consecutive podium finish. The Repsol Honda Team riders are second and third in the overall MotoGP standings and want to cut the advantage held by current leader Jorge Lorenzo.

Dani Pedrosa “I had a very good summer break; in these two weeks I was able to relax a little, enjoy time with friends and get back into my training. At this time of year Indianapolis is normally very hot, so fitness is always key. I enjoy riding at this track and I’ve had good results in the past. I am really looking forward to this race and will fight to win and maintain the consistency we have shown in the first part of the Championship.”
