Dani Pedrosa is the sole leader of the MotoGP championship in a season where exciting races and equality are the predominant factors. Fans of this sport are enjoying a spectacular start to the season and the Repsol rider forescasts that the whole season will be like this. “This World Championship will be fun for everybody” said the Spanish rider when he visited the Barcelona MotoOh! 2008 Fair.

After four GP races Dani Pedrosa leads the classification in one of the hardest fought World Championships in recent times. After Stoner`s clear domination last year the 2008 season is turning into one of the tightest and most exciting battles ever seen. There are four candidates for the world title. Each one of them has won one race already this year, although only Pedrosa has managed to finish on the podium in every race.

The injuries picked up by Jorge Lorenzo are more serious than they seemed at first. Taking a risk and riding in the Chinese GP may turn out to be very expensive for him after he decided to start the race at the circuit of Shanghai last Sunday. The Spanish rider had a spectacular accident on the first day of training. The mediical tests carried out upon his return to Spain revealed that he has two broken ankles.

After ten years working in the Repsol Honda Team, Pete Benson has had the opportunity of working with some of the best riders in motorcycling history, such as Mick Doohan and Valentino Rossi. In 2005, this 45-year-old Australian, resident in New Zealand, became Nicky Hayden's Chief Mechanic.
