Try as he might, MotoGP World Champion Jorge Lorenzo just doesn’t cut it with Spanish consumers, as well as the much more shy Dani Pedrosa does.

According to a recent consumer study by Personality Media, who indicates to advertising companies which celebrity personality has more pushing power to sell products to the brainwashed masses, Dani Pedrosa gets top scores followed by Valentino Rossi and then Jorge Lorenzo.

90% of Joe Spanish Public knows Rossi, 88% recognizes Dani Pedrosa and after Jorge Lorenzo got the crown last year and with his copy cat post race antics, throwing himself in the Jerez pond really garnered world wide attention, the reigning World Champion recognition rate jumped a big 11%, from 73% to 84%, but apparently winning a World title and using the social networks doesn’t always make you hot stuff.

Lorenzo bombed out in the “modern,” “reliable,” and “role model” categories, falling behind Rossi and Pedrosa, with the 9 times world champion leading in the modern, Pedrosa taking the lead in the reliable and role model categories, even Marc Marquez, who is only known to half the Spanish public, rates higher than Lorenzo and the same as Pedrosa.

    As always. Since they were rivals on 250cc Pedrosa is the spectators choice.

    Ha,Ha”
    Jorge Lorenzo is disliked as Vale told and Yamaha Racing team has no title sponser.
    Dani is very shey and good personality.
    As not Spaniard, Casey has been rival from 250cc.
    How many Spaniard kows him?

    I’m suprised Marc Marquez’acknowledge about 50% in Spein.
    It’s little that I think!!
    He is very very talent and sponsered Repsol and Redbull in 125cc and has been keeping contract with Repsol in Moto2.
    He is young star in lieu of superstar VR46.

    I’m Spaniard and I confirm that everybody loves DANI. Anybody likes Lorenzo? I don’t think so…
    In order of importance: DANI, Marc Marquez and Maverick ViƱales.
    Of course our second option at MotoGP is Rossi.
