When we think of Felipe Massa, Mark Webber and David Coulthard with regard to Formula 1 - what immediately comes to mind? - Yes, they were all great drivers but were extremely unlucky to miss out on the World title.

The same thing can be said about Dani Pedrosa - at least in the Premier class of MotoGP. Pedrosa began his MotoGP career in Premier Class in the year 2006 having won the 125cc Championship in 2003 and back-to-back 250cc championships in 2004 and 2005. He spent his entire career with Team Repsol Honda for 17 years from 2001 to 2018.

On three occasions, Pedrosa finished as runner-up in the Championship - 2007, 2010 and 2012. Between 2006 and 2017, he won at least one race. His 12-year race winning streak is unmatched till date. In 236 starts, Pedrosa won 31 races and stood on the podium 112 times. He is presently the test rider for Team KTM.
