Pedrosa called it quits from MotoGP in 2018, twelve years after his first debut in the premier class in 2006. The racer bagged a bunch of wins in MotoGP, 31 times in fact, and a three-time championship runner-up.
Following his retirement, KTM scooped him up and made him the Austrian brand’s official test rider. Then he went out on track recently as a wildcard under Team Orange’s banner for the Misano and Styrian rounds of the 2021 MotoGP season.
