Toby Moody: is Pedrosa just unlucky?

This year seemed to be Dani Pedrosa's golden shot at a MotoGP title, until Marc Marquez turned up. Does that make Pedrosa unlucky, or is he simply not good enough? TOBY MOODY argues that Honda's quiet man shouldn't be underestimated

Experience in motorsport is supposed to increase your chances. You learn from those early 'I'm immortal!' crashes and, once you've stopped shunting, you keep it on the straight and narrow, learning from all those set-up tweaks that you've mastered over nearly a dozen years of racing to take you to the top.

Then you work hard and you win a championship, just like Jorge Lorenzo has done, or Kenny Roberts Jr, or Nicky Hayden in that epic 2006 MotoGP season when everything was stacked against him.
