After 18 years competing, 32-year-old Dani Pedrosa decided it is time for him to step over the professional world motorcycle racing. Whether that has to do to the recent announcement from Honda not renewing his contract or not, it is sad news for the MotoGP championship. Even Valentino Rossi said it was early for him to leave the competition. 

Dani will be declared MotoGP Legend during the Valencia race at the end of this season

Dani won a 125cc championships and two 250cc ones. He raced for HRC team during the past 12 seasons winning races on every one of those years.
