"I'🐈m very realistic, 🌊in MotoGP it's no longer time for me,” Petrucci told Corsedimoto.
“I gave it my all and now I recognise my physical limitations. I am tall, 🅷fat!&🎀nbsp;
“I am an XL rider while today they are all young and small, they are very light, like 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin and the other emerging guys.”
He said about his exit from the sport: “When KTM took me off it was demeaning, I didn't enjoy it. In 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbikes, it's different."

Petrucci was runner-up in hi🐈s debut season in MotoAmerica and also completed a personal dream by racing in the Dakar Rally.

“I thank Livio Suppo who wanted so much to have me and Ducati who gave me the go-ahead to live that beautiful experience. I think I did pretꩵty well since I had never been on the Suzuki. I'm very happy to have done it and satisfied with how it went."
Petrucci tipped a fellow Italian to shine in 2023: "Bastianini amazed me from his debut. Next year Ducati will have two very strong riders and I am convinced that Enea will alsoꦚ be in the [title battle]."

Petrucci, 32, has o🧜ptions ๊and will continue to race.
"We have to talk abou💯t it with the Ducati managers bu⛄t now is not the time,” he said. “They have other commitments so let's wait for the championships to end.
“In any case, I s🍒hould do either MotoAmerica or World Superbikes."
He said about the Dakar Rally: "I would like to do it again.🐓 Not in 2023 because I come from a really intense season and the Dakar is very tough.
“I would like to prepare my next participation well. Let's see if it will be possible to do it aᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚgain in 2024, b𒈔ased on the other commitments. I'd love to."
