KTM Beri Wild Card untuk Dani Pedrosa Turun di MotoGP Spanyol

  • Pembalap penguji KTM Dani Pedrosa dipastikan turun di Sirkuit Jerez, Spanyol, dengan fasilitas wild card pada MotoGP 2023.
  • Pembalap asal Spanyol itu pada 2021 juga turun di GP Styria dan finis P10.
  • KTM mengumumkan bila Jonas Folger menjadi test rider ketiga bersama Pedrosa dan Mika Kallio. 

SKOR.id – Kali terakhir Dani Pedrosa turun dalam balapan kelas MotoGP terjadi pada 2021, saat berlangsungnya GP Styria di Sirkuit Red Bull Ring.

Hebatnya, kendati saat itu sudah tiga tahun tidak kompetitif – mengakhiri kariernya pada akhir musim 2018 – Pedrosa mampu memaksimalkan wild card dari KTM itu dengan berhasil finis P10 (6 poin).

Tahun ini, juara dunia kelas 125cc (kini Moto3) 2003 serta 250cc (Moto2) 2004 dan 2005 itu akan kembali mendapatkan wild card dengan turun di kandangnya, GP Spanyol, di Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto pada 28-30 April mendatang.

Pengumuman bila runner-up MotoGP 2007, 2010, dan 2012 itu bakal ikut turun di GP Spanyol dikonfirmasi langsung oleh Manajer Tim KTM Francesco Guidotti.

“Saya baru mendapatkan konfirmasi (soal wild card untuk Pedrosa di GP Spanyol) ini beberapa menit lalu. Ini menunjukkan betapa pentingnya peran Dani Pedrosa bagi kami,” kata Guidotti seperti dikutip GPOne.com, Jumat (27/1/2023).

Sejak menjadi pembalap penguji dan cadangan KTM mulai 2019, Dani Pedrosa selalu menunjukkan kesiapan dirinya mampu turun jika diperlukan untuk menggantikan pembalap reguler.

GP Spanyol pun kemungkinan bukan satu-satunya Pedrosa akan turun. Pasalnya, MotoGP 2023 akan berlangsung dalam 42 balapan (21 race standar plus sprint race dalam jumlah yang sama).

KTM pun langsung memilih antisipasi dengan memperbanyak pembalap cadangan. Guidotti menjelaskan hal tersebut di sela-sela perkenalan resmi tim pada Kamis lalu.

“Pedrosa mengatakan dirinya selalu siap untuk menjadi pengganti. Dari situ, ia akan melakukan evaluasi mengacu kasus demi kasus tergantung kebutuhan,” kata Guidotti.

“Tetapi kami juga akan bekerja bersama Jonas Folger, yang juga siap sewaktu-waktu diperlukan. Ia akan bersama kami di Sepang (Malaysia) pada sesi shakedown MotoGP (5 Februari) nanti.”

Jonas Folger pernah turun di MotoGP pada 2017 bersama Tech3 yang kala itu menjadi tim satelit Yamaha. Namun rider asal Jerman itu lantas terpaksa berhenti seusai didiagnosis mengalami sindrom Gilbert.

Pada 2019, Folger sempat menjadi test rider Yamaha serta beberapa kali turun di Moto2. Tahun 2021 lalu, Folger ambil bagian di Kejuaraan Dunia Superbike (WSBK) membela tim satelit BMW, Bonovo MGM Racing, namun tidak mampu menuai hasil memuaskan.

Musim 2023 ini, Jonas Folger akan menjadi test rider ketiga KTM bersama Dani Pedrosa dan Mika Kallio.
