Despite having to watch Barni Ducati win a WorldSBK race in his absence, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Danilo Petrucci 🐲was proud of what the team achieved at the𝔉 recent Assen round.

Petrucci missed the Assen round due to ✅a motocross accident which left him✤ with jaw injuries and a fractured right collarbone.

Petrucci’s replacement Nicholas Spinelli went on to win his first WorldSBK race in mixed conditions, after choosing inter🀅mediate tyres over sꦉlicks.

Recalling the w🎃in for Spinelli, Petrucci said: “I was happy for Spinelli and Barni. Barni was one of the first guys to come to the hospital to see my condition, and he was sad because we were in a good moment.

“We were fighting for the podiums and the top five. Assen is one of my favourite tracks. I think, in the end, we’ve been unluc🎀ky with the accident but, on the other hand, lucky.

“Maybe someone up inꦇ the air looked down and decided this was our lucky week, ꦜfor me because I escaped a really bad accident and for Barni, who lost one rider for that race, but he won his first race. I was happy to watch that race.”

Prior to the season getting underway Petrucci🔯 claimed the 2024 campaign could be one of the most compet💛itive.

And through three rounds the Italian’s statement is holding true, which is why he believes the championsh♑ip has never been better to watch.

Petrucci said: “It’s nice to watch WorldSBK. I told everyone at the start of the season that I think🐈 there are at least 12 different riders who can get on the podium and a lot of them can win races.

“It’s really challenging to join in becau💃se you can be in the top three and, in the next sessioꦺn, in 12th.

“It’s hard but it’s nice to watch for the fans because yo💖u never know who’s going to win𝐆 or stand on the podium.

“From the inside, it’s nice, but hard becauseꦗ we’re all close so it’s really difficult to create a gap.

“Even if you are in tenth place, you can still fig😼ht for the ꦕpodium, because everyone is close on race pace. The new rules have given a bit more competition.”
