Four days after putting in a great performance in the`Spanish GP at the circuit of Jerez Dani Pedrosa, the Repsol rider, went to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria for a promotional event organised by the Spanish multinational oil company. The aim was to spend some time with his fans there who because of their geographical isolation have some difficulties in seeing the World Motorcycling Championship in the flesh. On this occasion Pedrosa got a warm reception from the people on the island, and they all enjoyed the relaxed, casual atmosphere.

After giving a press conference in the morning to the local papers at the Terraza Sotavento Club on the Muelle Deportivo de Las Palmas, Pedrosa went to a Repsol service station close to the Centro Comercial Atlántico in the town of Vecindario, where surprised clients found the three times World Champion refilling their cars. The sight attracted about a hundred fans, who enjoyed seeing the Repsol rider in person. Dani did not waste a second and signed autographs and posed for photographs with all the fans present.

Immediately afterwards the Repsol rider went to the nearby shopping centre to watch the final of a video game competition organised by Repsol in Gran Canaria. The best two participants competed in the grand final and received hints about how to ride from Dani Pedrosa. Then the Repsol Honda Team rider spoke to many of the fans who had gathered there, he signed posters, caps, T-shirts and photographs. Some even surprised Dani by asking him to sign photographs taken a few minutes earlier at the service station.
