Seventh in Saturday’s WorldSBK Race 1, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Danilo Petrucci had late race pace which was again the ꩵcase during Sunday’s double-header.

Petrucci managed to claw his way back through the field following a difficult start to Race ൩2.

“A top five is always a good result even though it's our minimum target,” said Petrucci. “We were the top inde♋pendents in Race 2 and brought home some points, so it works!

“This was probably one of our les💟s favourable tracks due to low grip and tire management.

“Speaking generally, I'm happy because I feel really good with the bike, ♛and the team is doing a great job, so I can't wait to go to Assen, which on the other side is one of my fไavourite circuits.

ﷺ“Hopefully, the weather will be nice and cool. There will be good grip in the fast corners, and I can't wait to tackle those fifth gear corners with this Ducati Panigale V4 R, which I feel increꦕasingly comfortable with.”

While Petrucci enjoyed another strong round, fellow satellite Ducati ride🍸r Michael Rinaldi suffered a crash after contact with Andrea Locatelli and Axel Bassani, in Race 2.

“Difficult weekend, which started badly and ended worse,” said Rinaldi.🧸 “In turn 4 I was accelerating together with Locatelli but I was forced to choose the inside line and involuntarily touche🤪d Axel Bassani.

“These things happen. This is a racing accident in which I involved another innocent rideꦫrꦆ to whom I apologize.

“Let's archive everything and think about the ♒next ๊one.”
