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 ra🥂ce pace which was again the case during Sunday’s double-header.

Petrucci manꦜaged to claw his wayꦯ back through the field following a difficult start to Race 2.

“A top five is al🐽ways a good result even though it🔯's our minimum target,” said Petrucci. “We were the top independents in Race 2 and brought home some points, so it works!

“This was probably one of our less favourable tracks d💎ue to low grip and tire ma💟nagement.

“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 favourite circuits.

“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 fift🍰h gear corners with this Ducati Pa﷽nigale V4 R, which I feel increasingly comfortable with.”

While Petrucci enjoyed another strong round, fellow satellite Ducati rider Michael Rinaldi suff♓ered a crash after contact with Andrea Locatelli and Axel Bassani, in Race 2.

“Difficult weekend, which started badly൩ 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 touched Axel Bassani.

“These things happen. This is a racing accid💎ent in which I involved another innocent rider to whom I apol♔ogize.

“Let's archive everything and꧙ think about the next one.”
