Just a few hours after the news ran wild in the internet that Dani Pedrosa had been allegedly involved in a cheating scam to obtain a boating license, the Spanish rider had the following statement released by his lawyer to do a little damage control:“Following bad advice I made a mistake.
Mistakes can be ignored or learn from them, and I’ve learned from it.
I publicly apologize to my fans and all those who trust me.
Now I’m looking forward.
I’m a motorcycle rider, the world championship starts this weekend, and I want to focus solely and exclusively on Sunday’s race.
I have learnt a lesson from this mistake and wish to leave the issue behind right now and focus on a season that I face with a high motivation and enthusiasm.
”The Repsol Honda rider will be on track on Thursday evening for the first free practice of the season at Losail, Qatar.
