Dani Pedrosa Repsol Honda, will pilot cement with the aim of his World Cup points lead to the Sachsenring, where last year scored a dominant victory and team-mate Nicky Hayden ranks third to give Repsol Honda its first double podium 2007.

Pedrosa 2008 retook the lead with a smooth ride into the background at the recent Dutch TT, while Hayden was about to complete the team's first double podium of the year.

This is the most active time of year for the Repsol Honda Team - the GP of Germany is the fifth round of MotoGP in just seven weeks and is immediately followed by next weekend's U.S. GP. Pedrosa, Hayden and his crew, hence, working very hard. Pedrosa known to have to find a couple of tenths to strengthen its World Championships charge, while Hayden is being compared with Honda Motor pneumatic valve that sailed for the first time at Donington Park, the weekend before Assen.

The German believes that the GP MotoGP circus switch from one historical site of the race to another. The original street Sachsenring circuit was first used for racing at the end of 1920 and hosted the first GP behind the Iron Curtain in 1962. The track regularly attracted crowds of 350000 and was last used for racing World Championship in 1972. After a short reunion Sachsenring circuit was built.

The venue hosted its first GP in 1998 and since then has undergone major improvements. Now is a complex and challenging circuit, with an ultra-tight first section bearing on a roller coaster series of high-speed left-handers who are its dominant feature.


Dani Pedrosa
"We are working very hard at this point, trying to improve our performance. We will do everything possible to repeat my 2007 German GP win but we know it will not be easy. Sachsenring is a slow track, most corners are not as fast. My favorite is the final section, part faster: fasting, bottom right-hand near the end of the lap, and then run the final uphill into the corner. There is always a good atmosphere in this race with a lot of fans and overflowing grandstands. The track again for the past year career he did much better before because it was very bumpy. Set-up is always difficult because Sachsenring is a long career, so you need a harder than normal compound on the left side of the tyres. You can use a good driving style static here, go softer and less doing movements than usual on the bike. "

Nicky Hayden
"The bike is working well, the engine is running quite well, but we just had that little issue at the end of Assen I ceased to reach third. I am sure the guys in the Human Rights Committee will take all electronic components set for this career because I quite like the Sachsenring and I have always ido quite well there. It's a little short skirt and some people complain it is too tight and twisty but I like fast corners and has left a lot of them. I am a dirt tracker by what I like to go left! The first bit is quite technical, then you have to fifth gear ducking round the back that is really good, certainly one of the best. The key to go down the hill that is getting the bike so you're confident in the front. The next right-hand (Turn 12) is a large, is blind and is downhill, so you can not go on a tip toeing through there if you want a good Turn, which has become compromised and uploading. Last year the track surface with a new tire wear, because it has been a big problem there. "
