Back on his main bike after a Friday crash and subsequent ride on his No.2 Honda RC212V, Dani Pedrosa found improvement at the Sachsenring circuit ahead of this afternoon´s crucial qualifying session.
The 2006 poleman and 2007 racewinner at the German track, Pedrosa took advantage of a track dried out after early rainfall to record the fastest lap of the third and final practice session, a 1´22.343.
The Spaniard did so on the last of 28 laps of the circuit, making up for time lost in setting up his second machine yesterday.
Second Repsol Honda rider Nicky Hayden was looking for improvements after an uninspiring opening day, and shaved nearly a tenth of a second off his Friday hot lap. It was enough to put the American third on the morning timesheet.
