No announcement from Pedrosa, appears he was going to retire and something has come to put off the decision. Or maybe the other way around. Last edited by povol; June 14th, 2018 at 07:39 AM. |

Very much sounds like it isn't retirement, he has options but won't say what series never mind team. I reckon if he was going to retire he would have just said that. | |

According to what the usual birdies told me, Pedrosa's options would seem to be either a 2 year contract for the [non-existing-yet] Yamaha Petronas team or a contract as a KTM tester that would include 2 or 3 wild cards per year. Mike Leitner, who is currently one of the KTM managers, has been Pedrosa's crew chief for 9 years and that would be why he is wanted as a tester at KTM.

Is this not a bit weird?! Who made him have a press conference? A whole thing with media for him to say "I have no news" is a bit odd...
