“[Looking back], I have good memories,” Pedrosa s𓆉aid ab𓃲out their on-track rivalry. 

“In the moment, tense, unc🐲omfortable memories. 

“We were fighting, there was friction, statements, tension on the track, if you beat or be💜at him, for🎃 both of us to lose was very bad.

“They are not good memories, but in tꦍhe past they are good because we pushed each other in such a way that that caused us to raise our level to a point where we were left only him and me, the others were a clear step behind.”

Pedrosa was asked if, now aged 37🐬 and with hindsight, he would still act the same way towards Lorenzo.

“I made mistakes, mista♏kes, that I would have liked not to make,” he said.
