Danilo Petrucci can leave Jerez with the feeling of a job well done. This is thanks to a race where he showed himself to be serious and consistent, following his leader like his shadow Dovizioso, which allowed him to take his first top 5 of the year. Better still, his big rival for the official title for 2020 has fallen, which gives him a little breathing room in terms of championship points…
Jack Miller will therefore have to redo everything while Danilo Petrucci little by little makes its nest. Fifth in the Spanish Grand Prix, the Ducati rider said he was quite satisfied with the result, even if the podium was not that far away. This year, the level of MotoGP is very high and, as “Petrux” points out, being among the first is anything but simple…
« I am quite satisfied with the way we managed a race which turned out to be more complicated than expected Says Petrucci. " At the start I tried to stay calm and focused and save the tires for the end of the race. Honestly, I thought it would be possible to get on the podium, but we didn't succeed despite Andrea and I giving our best » said Danilo.
« I lost a little speed in the middle of the corner and I couldn't express myself under braking. To be in the top three this year, it is necessary to have the smallest detail and, in my case, I unfortunately started quite far on the grid. However, the outcome of the weekend is positive: We had a good result for the ranking by collecting other important points and we will continue to work with maximum effort from tomorrow to get closer to the first ". Monday, in fact, will be a test day on the same Jerez track.
