Danilo Petrucci crashes but rebounds with P3 finish: ‘I think we’re in good shape’
Danilo Petrucci had an eventful da𝐆y as he topped the times for much of the afternoon, ran into technical issues and crashed his Pa💮nigale V4 R.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Danilo Petrucci was the top Ducati until the final hour began as Nicolo Bulega took top spot away from his fellow Italian on the final day of WorldSBK testing in Catalunya.
The Barni Ducati rider began the day with technical issues before stopping out on circuit whꦑich resulted in yellow flags.

Once Petrucc🍷i finally got up to speed, the Italian went third fastest behind Nicolo Bꦐulega and Jonathan Rea.
More drama then followed for the ex-MotoGP rider as Petrucci went top moments before crashing 🅺at ♉turn ten.
D🌸iscussing his day, Petrucci said: “The first part was not busy, because I pushed the bike out of the gravel a couple of times.
“We had aღ problem with this morning, a bit of🅘 rain and we waited a bit, and then we had this issue with the number one bike.
“We had to start the day quite late but then we’ve𒐪 been able to recover so well. I was worried about my lap time with the SCX and the SCQ. I could’ve been better but, on t𝐆he second attempt, I crashed at Turn 10.
“On the second try, I p🏅ut𒉰 on another tyre because I wanted to do a Superpole Race simulation with the qualifying tyre, and I was improving my lap time, but I crashed at Turn 10.”
Ducati’s record in Catalunya is a very good one although Alvaro Bautista has😼 largely contributed to that.
But with Petrucci and Bulega finishing the test in very strong form, potentꦜial for the upcoming round in Barcelona appears to🧜 be high.
Petrucci believes that to be the case despite missing out on a race simulation: “Because we didn’t have so much time✃, we wanted to try a race simulation, but we were unable.
“I think we’re in good shape. The tyre wear here is the main thing so you can beཧ fast, but you need to be faster at the end of the race as your pace can drop one or two seconds. I’m satisfied.
“I’m happy because I’m trying to understand the tyre. It’s really goo🌃d to go with a lot of speed inside the corner and Bulega is really good at it.
“I need to try to smoother o꧂n the throttle and carry more speed in the corner. I did the lap time with tꦛhe new front tyre, and I like it.
“I was a little bit overriding the bike and I was really tru🍎sting the front tyre too much, because it was so good!”
