Fans get behind Pedrosa
Two weeks ago an unfortunate fall ended the spectacular race that Dani Pedrosa was having at the Sachsenring. An accident that stopped him from finishing the German GP and from taking part in the American GP. However, the magnificent season that he was having means that he is still in the fight for the world title. His fans know this and in these last two weeks they have not stopped giving him encouragement and support.
One example of this is the spectacular visitor figures recorded in this period on the blog that he writes for the repsol.com website. After his accident in Germany the blog beat all previous records as it received more than 400 comments. This week`s post, after he took the decision not to race at Laguna Seca, is having a similar experience, since in just the two days since it was published it has received over 200 comments.
Moreover, the Spanish rider has received many expressions of support since he fell at the circuit of the Sachsenring, when he was clearly in the lead. 259 people wanted to leave him a message of encouragement on the website, between the GP races in Germany and the USA “Cheer up, you will soon be where you deserve” says one fan, “Get well soon, because races without you are not the same” says another.
Pedrosa`s accident will not spoil his magnificent season, he had been the most consistent up to that point of the season, finishing on the podium in all races - except France - and winning the two races in Spain. These performances have inspired racing fans who now see Dani Pedrosa as one of the most important Spanish sportsmen on the scene at the moment. This can be seen from the WIP list which classifies the people that appear most on the internet, the Repsol rider occupies sixth place on this list, alongside Luis Aragonés and Iker Casillas from the world of football, among others.
