Honda clinch 2018 MotoGP Triple Crown in soaked Valencia, at Dani Pedrosa's final race
Dani Pedrosa completed his #racing career in Valencia, scoring a fifth-place finish in incredibly tricky weather conditions that caused the crashes of nine riders—2018 World Champion #marcmarquez among them—and prompted Race Direction to interrupt the first race on lap 13 and re-start a new one half an hour later. Marc suffered a crash from third place at Turn 9 on lap seven and was therefore unable to take part in the second stint. Dani restarted from fourth in the 11-lap second race and closed fifth, bringing to 46 points the final advantage with which the Repsol Honda Team secured the Team Championship, thereby earning back-to-back #MotoGP Triple Crowns, having already achieved the Riders Title in Japan and the Constructors Title in Malaysia. Dani ends a highly successful 18-year GP career, all of it as a Honda rider, having achieved three World Titles (125 in 2003, 250 in 2004 and 2005) 49 poles, 54 wins, 153 podiums and 64 fastest laps out of 295 starts. After celebrating at the FIM #MotoGP Awards ceremony on Sunday evening, the Repsol Honda Team will start 2019 winter test season on Tuesday, with a two-day test. |
