The driver from Terni was able to do well in qualifying, and will start at the front for the first time in eight Grands Prix.
Danilo Petrucci will he be able to definitively escape his negative spiral in racing tomorrow? The Italian has so far put the chances on his side by ensuring a good qualification, his best since Mugello! It must be said that if the first part of the season proved to be very good for him, the second got worse from race to race, and culminated in Aragón two weeks ago with a 12th place on Sunday.
The Ducati rider nevertheless managed to raise the bar and achieve a decisive Saturday, first by saving himself in Q1, and then by finishing in the top 5 in Q2. Even though he still had difficulties in FP3 this morning, he made up for it in the afternoon and will therefore start from fifth place tomorrow, ahead of his teammate Andrea Dovizioso. With Álex Rins behind him, he will have an opportunity to regain third place in the championship and will give everything to finish at the front.
“I was finally able to have a good qualifying session, despite the weather conditions this morning which made things a little more complicated for us” he explained. “We had to go through Q1, but I defended myself well and we did an excellent job with the team. »
“As I said yesterday, we have a good idea of the direction of work to follow, and here I am back in the places where I am supposed to be. I'm very happy because I can see that things are starting to work: I want to thank everyone who helped me, both in the Bologna racing department and in the team, and finish the good work tomorrow with an excellent result that we did today. »
