As is their custom, the Repsol Media service is sending out interviews with their riders over the summer break. First to break cover is an interview with Dani Pedrosa. The 2012 championship runner up talks about the progress he is making in recovering from the collarbone injury he suffered at the Sachsenring, his hopes of repeating in 2013 the outstanding results he obtained in the latter half of 2012, and on the balance between the Hondas and the Yamahas. As always, the Repsol Media interviews are an interesting read:

"Hopefully we can have a second half to the season like in 2012"

Dani Pedrosa reaches the halfway point of the season in second place, heavily involved in the fight for the title after scoring 11 valuable points at Laguna Seca —with a broken collarbone.

Second in the World Championship and 16 points off the lead, Dani Pedrosa salvaged a difficult situation at the United States Grand Prix to add 11 valuable points to his tally. A crash during practice for the German Grand Prix disrupted the consistency of the Repsol Honda Team rider, who had led the Championship for much of the season.

How is your body after Laguna Seca?

"Honestly, I'm very happy. Whenever you make a big effort and take risks like I did at the United States Grand Prix, getting good results and points is very rewarding."

You're 16 points off the lead. What evaluation do you make of the previous races?
