Dani Pedrosa got into motorbikes in much the same way most people begin on bicycles. He was just four when he got his first 50cc motorbike, which came with stabilisers. When he was nine, Dani entered the Spanish Minibike Championship and, before long, he was competing in the MotoGP™ World Championship.

Dani's talent came to the fore in GP, and he won the 125cc title in his third season. A move up to the 250cc class was immediately successful, and he won back-to-back titles before debuting in the MotoGP™ class in 2006.
