SBK, Petrucci: "Last year Barcelona was the worst track, now I'm ahead"

Danilo Petrucci can consider himself satisfied with what he did in this two-day test in Australia. Last year, at the Montmelò weekend, he was the protagonist of a complicated and suffered performance riding the Ducati.

This time, however, it went differently, as the ranking sees the Barni bearer occupying third position behind Bulega and Toprak.
"It was a positive test," he said, " I'm happy, because after Australia we needed to rediscover a traditional track. Barcelona's is a tough track, especially because of the high tire wear and the little grip. It was therefore important to be fast, considering among other things the new soft tires brought by Pirelli, with which I struggled last year."

Danilo therefore returns home serene about the work done.
"In the end we managed to be fast, both with the SCQ and the SCX. I didn't have a perfect lap, afterwards I even slipped at 50 km/h without doing anything serious to myself. The important thing is that last year Barcelona was the most difficult track while now we are in front. I am happy with the work done together with the team."
