Repsol Honda's Dani Pedrosa feels "impotent and and ashamed" after his dismal Brno MotoGP performance, and lays the blame solely at Michelin's door.

The diminutive Spaniard, who dragged his injured body from 12th on the grid to sixth on the first lap, ended the race in the last points-scoring position, adding that he had no grip whatsoever.

“This weekend has been a complete disaster. Today’s race was the probably worst of my career. In fact I couldn’t even race today, all I could do was ride. I couldn’t control the bike, I didn’t feel safe. I was riding so slow, I felt impotent and ashamed," said Pedrosa.

"I considered stopping but I stayed out there to get some points. We really need a drastic improvement from the tyres. I had no grip at the front and no grip at the rear, from the first lap to the last.

"It was therefore impossible for me to push any harder, even though I was going very slow, three or four seconds slower than the leader. I almost crashed twice, so I just tried to finish the race. I did my best in very difficult circumstances, at the end the tyre performance was even worse than it had been during the early laps.”
