The Dutch Grand Prix was breathtaking until the final loop where the duel between the two Italians for victory was somewhat disrupted by two late Spaniards. A frustrating encounter for the loser Danilo Petrucci, who did not mince his words about this colony installed in the Grands Prix. As for Valentino Rossi, he admitted to being embarrassed for Jorge Lorenzo…
The apologies were made, but that doesn't change the end result. Danilo Petrucci believes he saw his last chances of delivering the final blow for victory at Assen wiped out by Hector Barbera, and especially, alex rins, lost on the Batavian track to a senator's rhythm.
Enough to annoy Petrux: “ I met Barberá on my trajectory who didn't leave me enough places and Rins who did the same in turn 6. We touched with the latter and I almost fell ". The rest is more spicy: “ I shouldn't express myself like this, but the Spaniards are always quibbling and reminding us of the regulations during the safety commission and they are the first to not respect the rules ».
« The commissioners did not wave the blue flags either. I know Alex Rins wants to apologize, but when you are so slow on the track, with wet tires, you have to be careful ».
The two aforementioned should undoubtedly take an example from their illustrious compatriot Jorge Lorenzo. He also took a lap after betting on rain tires. He crossed paths with a Valentino Rossi in full swing who commented: “ I was sorry to pass him in such circumstances, but he was also the only one to look over his shoulder and give me enough room to pass ».
See you this weekend at the Sachsenring…
