KTM MotoGP Bike Chat With Dani Pedrosa

[@IONONOI-NZL]

You can see why KTM hired Dani as a rider and ambassador. So much experience and so well communicated. Thanks!

[@walksinthedarkness]

Chris is asking all of the questions a rider would ask. It's great to hear Dani explaining what it's like to actually ride one of those monsters.

[@Unknown-bv7lv]

Honda should have employed him as test rider

[@walksinthedarkness]

@@Unknown-bv7lv Couldn't agree more!

[@paulthompson8613]

Mr Pedrosa has been phenomenal in all the Bike World videos hope it continues

[@magellanicspaceclouds]

This is gold for fans of bike racing. Dani is so humble. Amazing.

[@jonnytheboy23]

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! I love hearing Dani talk and explain things about the MotoGP beasts, he is such a cool guy and a major talent. It must have been a real buzz getting to spend some time with him.

[@AndiOliverI]

I really like how Chris let him speak an intervenes only and solely when needed. Awesome Chris!

[@jakke1975]

Still today one of the best MotoGP riders, and a really nice guy too.

[@maamajhigouri1207]

Wish it could be an hour long video. Enjoyed every second of it to the fullest and am having goosebumps, wow man. Seriously I felt like I’m talking with Dani face to face. What a talented rider he is ❤❤❤. Bring mote such videos in the upcoming days…

[@NayaA-Ri]

8 minutes is not enough, too too short. We all as bikers very curious about this advanced motogp technology from pov of the rider. Please do more like this

[@suplexracing1676]

So pleased to see Dani with KTM. Fits perfectly with the company with a nice and open character. More of this! 👍

[@LiquidAudio]

Legends, both of you!

[@QuackLoud]

Great interview. Still one of my favorite riders of all time. Always a Gentleman and the consummate professional. No temper tantrums. Never blaming other riders. I really miss him.

[@baar_nii]

This is fantastic! Than you to both Chris and Dani, as well as Cycle World and KTM for doing this for us riders! ❤

[@juliuscarlopoblete2092]

man, Chris is nailing the questions of every bike enthusiast wants to ask to a GP rider... great content...

[@Farsightful]

yeah that s exactly what i told myself. Chris is super relatable !

[@Farsightful]

BTW Dani too. very nice and humble dude, he speaked to us ! he did the thing !

[@waltermcinnis]

I could listen to Dani explaining this stuff all day. Great stuff.

[@karthik.g63]

I could watch this a dozen times and still learn something new about Moto GP every time. Fantastic interview!

[@Rufus-OG]

So when are Red Bull KTM a going to grant us all a wish and let Chris have a go on one of these beasts? 🙏🏼

[@giodc8599]

YES PLEASE!

[@vishalprajapati8840]

Love it

[@crumblymal8479]

Phenomenal Dani is an absolute star rider and what's more could still win races in MotoGP I have no doubt as Keith Huewen would say a true alien .👌👍many thanks to all who made this happen .

[@davidpalin1790]

Dani is a great ambassador for motorcycling and KTM

[@bebaskomen1603]

WOW a chat with Dani Pedrosa #DP26 one of my all time favourite MotoGP rider, he's a humble & down to earth person, it must been a great time could chat with Dani again for a longer time, 8 minutes ism't enough ❤❤❤

[@BrianMcCann421]

Dani, wow what a guy, and 4th last week .......full blown legend

[@tomostinato2918]

Legend. And still so bloody quick!!

[@giodc8599]

This is top content for motorcycle enthusiasts!

[@loucee569]

Dani is a real gentleman, and a great rider. In my opinion, he is also the best test rider ever.

[@connorrobert5348]

Been watching dani with my dad since I was small and he will always be one of my all time hero’s Hope I get the privilege of meeting him one day !!! Thanx Chris as well for always giving us your all and letting us in on the passion

[@LS-uv9gg]

All during his racing career, I'm sad to say I didn't pay too much attention to Dani, but good grief what a great seeming bloke to interact with. Very smart, articulate and all 'round nice guy. Fascinating. A lot of the other racers, despite being super skilled, I'm always left with a huge meh when it comes to their personalities, lol.

[@avrc9285]

ktm's deal with Pedroza was/is more valuable (for KTM) than anyone could ever imagine - This guy has improved the image of KTM substantially not to mention the actual "core" results he delivered for the performance of the bike on the track. Usually riders "disappear" once they don't race any more, with Danny i get the feeling its the other way around 👏👍

[@markputnam6371]

Just about the best interview of a professional rider I have ever watched. And Dani is a star. I hope he continues with this series for as long as he can.

[@festol1]

What a great perspective inside a champion rider thinks/feels about a modern gp bike.

[@ducatistajp5214]

Dani is a super nice guy, most normal GP rider personally of modern era IMO. He never spent a lot of time media wise. Have the greatest respect for him, imagine how much you could learn from him on a track day 🤯🤯

[@LeeTillbury]

What a great dude Dani is❤

[@elgar6743]

OUTSTANDING interview!! A real treat to hear Dani's very unique perspective.

[@bendavies6775]

Brilliant insights from a talented, underappreciated rider

[@gauravbiswas3644]

dani is an absolute legend and an overall nice guy

[@jamesf2656]

Such amazing Bike World content these days

[@jun701]

Chris, as always, knows all the right things to say. Dani, one of favorite GP riders, explains well in plain terms. KTM awesome brand, maybe the last brand now that actually has passion and vision in motorsports.

[@LD-bv1pm]

What an absolutely lovely guy, fully engaged, eye contact, thoughtful answers. Great questions too.

[@848evo4]

I found it interesting the KTM has Suzuki grips on it. Great hearing Dani talk about riding GP

[@Furadi]

I love everything about KTM's GP program. Jerez was such a fun race weekend. 🥰

[@Terraceview]

Dani always puts a smile on my face, so articulate.

[@bigjno1]

Some great insight into the things most people don't realise is involved in top level racing. C'mon KTM give Chris a few laps on that bike he's busting to ride it.

[@4forty6six]

Brilliant insight. DP26 legendary rider. Still remember the day he broke both his ankles at turn 1 Phillip island. Very fast crash.

[@gryphongryph]

What a nice guy Dani seams to be, you can really tell he loves motorcycles and the sport. Think if Honda really built a bike for him in his time there, he would for sure be a world champion now.👍🏻

[@Terraceview]

But he is a multiple world champion, not in MotoGP unfortunately.

[@gryphongryph]

@@Terraceview True, I was thinking about MotoGP

[@superfly93]

Dani is an absolute beast and a legend ❤

[@gmer16402]

One of the best riders in the last 20 years, right there. He knows what is talking about and can actually talk about it.

[@shadowred1980]

Good luck to Dani for his wild card that's coming up. Great job bike world, really cranking out the good content for us.

[@richardmerritt5600]

Just brilliant hearing Dani explain the bike controls and give an idea of what its like to ride. Great guy. And thanks too to Chris...he never stopped smiling....and lusting after a ride on the KTM. I wonder if they gave him a go?

[@Wilberon_McBane]

Nothing to add that hasn't already been said but just wanted to say anyway, Dani is such an utter legend and such a cool dude, plus to be interviewed by Chris (also a legend) who asks all the exact questions we would want to ask and just carries it all off perfectly. I really hope the whole Carwow/Bikeworld/Redbull mash up races continues. Such a privilege to see top end F1 and MotoGP stuff put up against the latest and greatest supercars and bikes.......love it!!!!! ❤

[@alanrodriguez7341]

Amazing to hear Dani Pedrosa!!! And teaches how and what to expect while riding and understanding the bikes capabilities. Your mind and body needs to adapt before and then you come back to test more to see where your at with the motorcycle. You reset your mind and body to make you ride the bike better each time. Great lessons and great content!!!

[@gavinhill4121]

I enjoyed that Chris. Strange how I appreciate Dani more now than previously

[@kabinshrestha3674]

Even though not a KTM fan but loving the company how it is doing and improving even in lower CCs and country like Nepal

[@kailiebejung]

Thank you, thank you, thank you and Dani and KTM!!!

[@vivek1393]

For some reason this made me tear up slightly. Thank you for this video.

[@ENLSN77]

Thanks Chris and team. Amazing insights from Dani. When was this filmed? Before Dani's epic wildcard ride at this years Jerez GP? He's still an alien. He retired too soon 😂

[@Terraceview]

He needs an hour in the hot tub before he can move in the morning. His career was cut short because of injury. I miss these Aliens.

[@sk2283]

I love Dani ! What a star ⭐️ one of the true aliens of motogp - and a great guy, you should have had a few laps on that KTM and some instruction Chris !!! Love it !

[@theriderdtm8650]

Pedrosa "little samurai"✌🏻

[@leftymike8730]

I can listen to these conversations all day! Brilliant!

[@aarongibson7090]

Chris, you lucky bastard. What a cool opportunity. Thank you for sharing this truly amazing interview with us.

[@dermotshaw5722]

Great insight into the controls. It puts those guys even higher in my estimation

[@juliangreaves5684]

Thanks for that brief insight into what it's like to ride one of those amazing machines. I was waiting for Dani to say to you "here, you have a go and you'll see what I mean". It wasn't to be, sadly!

[@FamilieIriks-Huijsmans]

Gold combination i think ! Dani , Jack , Brad ( and maybe Pol next year…). Not only experience and speed but the characters. “No one wins alone”. The level that this is and can go is amazing, keep it up Guys 💪🏻💨💨💨

[@mr.ajayjose]

Legends!

[@jaguarskills69]

Motogp bikes today are a thing of Beauty, Absolutely love the way they look etc.

[@firebladeclements]

Dani whispers " jump on it, no one's looking Criss"

[@giodc8599]

I would have suggested Chris to fetch some KTM leathers but certainly he would not fit well into Dani's 😂

[@hunterssports]

Yea so his saying after 4mins in, is the reference points change on different machines and power. All ways in a slight consistent drift. love it.

[@ffs5532]

Go Dani, go Chris...great discussion...great camaraderie and another class video

[@RodiGKaya]

Go on Chris !

[@TroggyPK]

as a testiment to dani, he came from a time where ride height devices, aerodynamics and even electronic rider aids where either fresh developments or didn't even exist yet... then when he raced as a wildcard this season he came 6th on one of these bikes... truely one of the aliens and arguably up there with the all time greats of the sport

[@stevef5490]

Fantastic insight! Great job!

[@t.h210]

So much respect for Dani! Such a cool guy 👍🏻👍🏻

[@davidhardstaff8110]

Dani the greatest champion over the longest period was just bad timing that didnt crown him king. Always someone extremely marginally better. Great bloke.

[@erg0101]

Amazing video, wish it was longer. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@2wheels6strings8]

Loved this, could have listened for much longer. Thanks.

[@kingkire1556]

Stunning amazing looking bike. Makes me want a sportsbike again.

[@adambhoyroo9719]

Dani Pedrosa is awesome rider and such a nice guy.

[@RayinadaTVlog]

May God always be with you, Dani.....good luck any where....

[@bikee4]

Dani is amazing! love this interview. He seems very approachable and cordial. My observation after that is HIS HANDS LOOK LIKE VISES!!!

[@jackpassfield9141]

Never knew they also used the front start device under braking. Wild that it helps with stability but makes sense getting the extra travel under braking and allowing the suspension to still be soft through the stroke.

[@tomquaker]

super insightful, interesting and plain cool, thank you and Dani for sharing this !

[@SuperDickiedavies]

Here’s probably a good chunk of why Honda are now struggling so much. Dani has always been such an insightful rider. I’ve always admired him for not getting involved with rider spats.

[@ENLSN77]

Agreed Yeah, he and Marco Simoncelli seemed to be like magnets on quite a few occasions.

[@mbal4052]

@@ENLSN77simoncellii rode straight into him and fked him up, he was a dirty rider

[@Panagiotis-Skordilis]

Dani ❤

[@abymathew295]

Ohhh man, how lucky you are. It is my life's dream to see Dani in person and to get a photo...but i dont think that will ever happen..😔😔😔😔😔😔😔

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

He’s a great guys, gave us all the time we needed. Chatted to Chris off camera for ages.

[@theonlyredspecial]

Good video as always guys ❤

[@torangclayruz4098]

KTM is now making huge improvements in Motogp project by his references. He always builts the bike to the better direction as KTM guys are now at the front row to compete in every single race. Honda had made the biggest mistake to underestimate him after Marc took over the HRC motogp team.

[@julianhunter9455]

Freaking awesome ❤

[@spencerabaker]

Just wish Dani had taken a championship; if only he hadn’t have been so loyal to Honda…he went so well when he sub’ed earlier in the season, I reckon he’d still be in the reckoning over a season on a KTM….

[@jalapinya]

Dani is the fuckin' man! Always enjoy listening to him speak.

[@barryvercueil2346]

Incredible video. Thanks for sharing

[@kashkhan6425]

What a fascinating conversation... Loved it 👏👌

[@GeorgiaGrowGuy]

Dani could come back and be a top 4-5 rider. The riders have not really gotten better, the bikes have.

[@Terraceview]

If Dani would risk it he would be champion. I mean Binder and especially Miller don't have any of the grit this man has. He might be riding 70% on his wild carts.

[@deepsownfactory8441]

Such a humble guy.. Dani 🤘

[@woooster17]

How much does Chris want to try that bike! 🤩 Information overload though.. 🤯

[@miked8754]

He asked.. But there's 3 million reasons why they said no... 😂

[@ENLSN77]

He definitely could ride it. I have no doubt. Look at Simon Crafars laps on 3 contemporary motogp bikes. Probably twice Chris' age 😂 I suppose he just needs to be closer to the motogp paddock and big insurance $$$$$

[@davidmarquez4234]

Awesome content. Thanks and congrats.

[@throttletube]

I love Dani - he is a world champion in my books! He did so much for Repsol Honda.

[@BanjoLuke1]

I agree. An excellent bike rider. But he is a World Champion in the history books, not just on your books.... He picked up 125 and 250 titles back in the 2-stroke days. Sadly,any thought he just wasn't big enough to ride the big bikes... and in truth he wasn't. But on a 250, sometimes he was on another planet.

[@throttletube]

@@BanjoLuke1I know his history dingus he is a world champion to me

[@gpracer270]

Dani's english is near PERFECT! He seems to understand better than I do and its the only language I know hahahah! Smart dude. Yeah I know I am not that smart . . .

[@LiviuXSA]

amazing video, its too short

[@tpmdrivernine9080]

For some of us...this is the closest we can feel and imagine how it feels to ride a motogp

[@MrReniks]

nice guy that Pedrosa is! great vid

[@ridzwanhassan5551]

That’s the experience rider/racer Dani ❤

[@killpop8255]

Whelp when I see "Mapping 2" I thought there was one button designated for that map. And there seemed no direction for the buttons...engine break increase/decrease unless it is factored into Map.
