Repsol Honda's Dani Pedrosa reckons he is back to full fitness for this weekend's MotoGP round at Estoril in Portugal and is looking forward to challenging for the win at the bumpy circuit.

The diminutive Spaniard reckons he will need to be very focused from the start of first practice as the Portugese track as it requires a lot of heavy braking and good rear grip.

“We need to be very focused from the first practice on Friday to prepare the bike as much as possible for this race. At this track you need a machine that performs well on the brakes and over the bumps and is able to maintain good rear grip," said Pedrosa.

"It’s quite a tough track from a riding point of view, but I feel confident on this front because physically I’m in really good condition now. We’ll see how the weather is compared to last year when we raced in April.

I have good memories from 2008 when we managed to finish second even though we had mixed conditions on Sunday with some light showers at the beginning of the race. Obviously I would prefer to have stable weather and dry conditions, but whatever happens I’m looking forward to getting back on track.”
