Danilo Petrucci is currently like all of his fellow MotoGP riders: frustrated and impatient. He experiences his confinement at home like a lion in a cage but understands the necessities of this isolation. He also recalls the imperatives in an interview where he assures that he is in daily contact with his teammate Andrea Dovizioso who he misses, while ensuring that once this season is over, there should be no delay in starting. ignition…
Danilo Petrucci is languishing at home, but he must do his duty at home to eradicate the planetary spread of a Coronavirus which confined half of the world’s population… “ Staying at home for so long and away from our friends is certainly not the ideal situation » he explains, “ but for the moment it is the only solution. We must be able to solve the problem together. By staying at home and following government instructions, we can really help each other. The situation is difficult, but it will only improve if we resist. »
The team driver Ducati also explained how he spends these days at home: “ I'm trying to use this time to resolve some physical issues, including those I had At the shoulder last year in Valencia, and I also have problems with legs. I do physiotherapy at home, work out lightly and also focus on my diet ».
In these days forced at home, Petrucci has no way of training on a motorcycle and says he especially feels the lack of motocross training with his teammate Andrea Dovizioso : " we talk very often with Andrea, we send each other a lot of messages. During this period, I especially regret not being able to ride motocross with him and I miss our training together, because, during this period, I have no way to ride any motorcycle. »

“The last time Petrux rode the Desmosedici GP20 was more than a month ago, during the last winter tests from February 22 to 24, 2020 in Qatar… I was very satisfied with the tests we carried out at Losail » announces the Italian. “ I think I was one of the few drivers who did a full race simulation covering 22 laps. The bike is an evolution from last year's, but the big difference this year is the tires. We worked hard to try to adapt the bike setup and riding style. »
Also speaking about his future, Petrucci declared what the objectives are for 2020 and what he expects from this championship, now that it is certain that the calendar will include a very intense part, especially at the end of the season. “ This is my second year with the official Ducati team and I am very proud of it. This year, I would like to be able to improve my performances compared to last season. In 2019 I got my first win in MotoGP and fought for third place overall until two races into the championship.not. »
« This year, I hope to be able to continue fighting for this place throughout the championship. This season will surely be a surprise for everyone. We are not used to such an intense program. We will have a very busy schedule, especially in the last few months, so we will have to prepare well mentally and physically and rest as well as we can. Honestly, I can't wait to face this difficult schedule. »
It will be recalled that five Grands Prix have already been postponed, three of which have new dates, the other two remaining in suspense, including the Grand Prix of France. Qatar has been canceled, Catalonia and Mugello are in danger, so the Sachsenring, 21 June, could mark the start of hostilities…
