Short Fact
- Age: 39 years
- Gender: Male
- Place Of Birth: Sabadell
- Nationality: Spain
- Career Start: 2001
- Discipline: MotoGP
Early Life And Career
Dani Pedrosa got into motorcycles in much the same way that most people start out on a bicycle. He was only four years old when he received his first 50cc motorcycle, equipped with stabilizers. When he was nine, Dani entered the Spanish Minibike Championship and, in a short time, competed in the MotoGP ™ World Championship.
Dani’s talent made a splash in the GP and he won the 125cc title in his third season. The move to the 250cc class was immediately successful and he won two consecutive titles before making his debut in the MotoGP ™ class in 2006.
His rookie season with Repsol Honda has been impressive, to say the least, as Dani finished second in his first race. His status as a title contender quickly established itself and Dani finished second in the championship the following season.
After eight seasons, however, a premier-class crown still eludes the Spaniard as a mixture of bad luck and injuries played a big part in his fortunes. 2012 was Dani’s best season to date: he has won seven races, most of any rider, including eventual world champion Jorge Lorenzo.
In 2013 Dani managed to win three races and a podium finish 13 times before finishing third overall in the championship, while 2014 saw him drop to fourth in the final standings.
With a new crew chief in 2015, a reshuffle at his Repsol Honda garage gave Dani new hope for the new season, but an arm surgery earlier in the season paid off any hope of a title position. When he was fully fit for the second half of the season, Dani’s form was at the top, as evidenced by his two wins in the last four races.
The culmination of Dani’s 2016 season was a victory at the San Marino GP in Misano.

However, Pedrosa didn’t have time to sit down and put his feet up after his retirement from racing.

Early Life And Career
Marc Marquez is a MotoGP rider who won the championship from Cervera, Spain. He first got on a bicycle at the age of four and soon picked up more national titles than he knew what to do.

At the British Grand Prix, he became the youngest Spaniard ever (15 years and 127 days) to earn a podium as his promise thrived further. 2010 saw Márquez secure Red Bull’s support, switching to Derbi bikes when he joined Ajo Motorsport, and the season turned out to be a golden one.

In 2016 Marquez returned to winning ways, taking a historic third championship title with three races to spare at the Twin Ring circuit of Motegi in Japan, home of his Repsol Honda team.

In 2018, Marquez took the title with victory at the Japanese Grand Prix. A year later, he continued his relentless pursuit of silver by winning his fourth consecutive championship – and sixth crown in the premier class – in Thailand with four races to go.
Starting the 2020 season as a favorite, Márquez broke his humor in the first race in Jerez and subsequently missed the entire season.
The Spaniard returned to racing in the 2021 season and, while still feeling the effects of the wrist injury, secured his first win of the season at the German GP. Proving that he was returning to his best, he then triumphed at the end of the season at the Circuit of the Americas, recording a seventh win at the Austin, Texas track.

Nicky Hayden’s all career and life
Nicky Hayden was born on July 30, 1981 to parents Earl and Rose in Owensboro, Kentucky. A great rider was born there.Whole world got a skilled and versatile biker.
If you have any doubts about how hard work and strong values can bring a person, take a look at Nicky Hayden’s career sometime. While it’s a fact that he’s blessed with loads of raw talent, what really sets this American road biker apart from his rivals is his work ethic. Few people want success in their sport as much as Nicky, and that desire manifests itself not only when faced with an adoring crowd on a race weekend, but especially during the sport’s less glamorous moments: training. in the gym during the off-season, doing endless laps during winter tests and studying the data on the computer with the technicians late at night in the garage.
That alone is impressive enough, but also consider Nicky’s personality: in an age where professional athletes regularly make headlines for arguing, striking and generally getting into trouble, Hayden can seem like an anomaly. Popular with fans and sponsors almost as much for his charisma as for his achievements on the track, Nicky is a genuinely polite and respectful person who you will likely meet everywhere.
If there is anyone other than Nicky himself to thank for his dedication and charm, it must be his family. The middle brother in a family of five children (three brothers and two sisters), Nicky was born on July 30, 1981 to parents Earl and Rose. The home was (and always has been) Owensboro, Kentucky, which calls itself the barbecue capital of the world.
Both Hayden’s parents raced on dirt and their children – Tommy, Jenny, Nicky, Roger and Kathleen – followed their tire tracks from an early age. Nicky was driving at the age of 3 and two years later was racing, and the kids did endless laps around a humble short track on the family property, with Earl’s ever-present stopwatch monitoring their progress.
The family’s main source of income was Earl’s used car dealership – 2nd Chance Auto Sales (now called 3rd Chance) – where he still works today. The Haydens weren’t wealthy at all, but as the boys improved in their running activities, the family began moving away from home in search of tougher competition. Soon, they were traveling to big amateur dirt racing all the way to Illinois and Florida, Nicky always faithfully racing the same number 69 that his dad had during his career.
Although Hayden’s boys weren’t exactly farewell, education was important to Earl and Rose, who made sure the boys continued their work in the Catholic schools they all attended. All five would have graduated from high school, despite regularly missing school to attend events and despite the fact that the boys ran professionally during their last two years of studies.
Together with her siblings (the girls eventually stopped racing and focused on more traditional sports instead), Nicky eventually added minibike road racing to her schedule, participating in club races organized by CMRA, the strong racing club. of Texas. Then came the 125cc two-stroke racing, initially in Texas and finally in WERA, the national club racing championship which is one level below the AMA.
When he qualified to go pro on his 16th birthday in 1997, Nicky followed his older brother Tommy into AMA racing. He almost immediately made a name for himself, advancing among increasingly competitive satellite teams for the first few seasons before earning the AMA 600 Supersport crown of ’99 and joining the powerful Honda factory team for 2000. In the meantime, he continued to race on dirt. when the road racing schedule allowed, now on the AMA Grand National Championship professional dirt tour.
In the 2002 season, Nicky won the Daytona 200 and became the youngest AMA Superbike champion ever, earning a promotion to the MotoGP world championship with the powerful Repsol Honda factory team. He scored a couple of podiums in his rookie season and secured his first win in 2005 in his home race, the Laguna Seca round; the following year saw him realize his lifelong dream by winning the MotoGP world title after a season-long battle with Valentino Rossi. Hayden joined the Ducati factory team in 2009 and continues to race for the famous Italian manufacturer to this day. The 2012 season marks the milestone of a decade for Nicky Hayden who competes as an official driver in the world’s premier road racing series.
While he may now legitimately be considered a racing veteran, Nicky hasn’t lost an iota of that enthusiasm and drive that has served him so well since he first stepped on a PW50 in the driveway of the Owensboro family home. He still works hard as ever, why not? The approach has served him well so far, as he remains one of the best riders on the planet, with one of the biggest and most fervent fans in the MotoGP championship. Not only that, but the best may still be yet to come. When looking for role models to serve as inspiration on how to live a rewarding and fulfilling life, you could definitely do worse than emulating Nicky Hayden.
