Fault of wanting to go that little bit extra, or simply an unluckly episode? Whatever happened, Dani Pedrosa threw away a tasty opportunity to gain some important points on Valentino Rossi and keep a wild Casey Stoner at bay with these images of huge slide at the latest championship event.
The championships are even more exciting and emotional a week from the move to Laguna Seca.
Check out the video of Pedrosa’s slide at Sachsenring, while we wait to see how this all finishes up.
