Hi Waru!!! Sorry if you posted about this and I just didn’t read it, but did we find out why Dani decided to enter this weekend as Daniel Pedrosa?? I can’t be totally shocked bc that’s his full name, but why the sudden change?? I also didn’t know how he was able to get to go by a nickname when everyone else goes by full names
Hi Victoria 👋👋👋👋
I didn't post it because I haven't heard anything. I was waiting to see if DAZN or Dani himself explained it, but they haven't done it yet.
I don't know and I can only speculate, and once it's reveled, that can be somewhere between tomorrow and never knowing Daniel, I will post the reality.
So Spain at least, it's very usual to shorten names and Daniel is always Dani. Now, my guess is that either Dani feels is very childish/child-like/immature as it's more common to kids to go by the nicknames while adults then to go by their full names. Him and Jorge had been talking recently about their ages and how they are getting old, so I can see Dani wanting to get rid of that and get into the 'mature' name.
The other option I can come up is to avoid confusion. Holgado is also Dani and if Dani is supposed to sped time with the GasGas crew to coach or at least keep an eye on Pedro it might cause some confusion, so he opted to go by Daniel. Of course I might be wrong, but those are the only plausible options I can come up at the moment
I mean he isn't wrong. Dani got fame of not being polite and brash sometimes and that add cleaned his imatge.
Something that people used to complain is how close Dani was and that he didn't do chitchat. he was only focused n the job, ignored the media and once he got the information he needed he was off. And this is something that picket for Puig, who was exactly the same. Puig has stayed the same, but Dani has matured, open and become someone you can approach and talk more easily, but young Dani was a mess
'Dani had the fame of being the good boy from Colacao, but in reality they dude was rude/mean, heh had such a character. But he had that facce of a good boy, plus the Colacao thing that also helped... and I was the asshole/bastard' By Jorge Lorenzo.
This is a transcript translated from some kind of interview Jorge recently had. I think it goes on brand with some things we have already discussed during the DaniLoveFest, so I thought to bring it
