Danilo Petrucci: “It’s a nice feeling when you’re fighting with the top guys”
Danilo Petrucci was able 🍃to take satisfaction from his podium finish in Race 1 at the Czech WorldSBK despite being dropped by the leaders.

Although he finished over 10 seconds behind the winner, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Danilo Petrucci said it was a “nice fe𝄹eling” to be on the podium in Race 1 at the Czech WorldSBK.
Petrucci finished where he started in third place; the Italian was able to stick with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nicolo Bulega ahead to begin with, but was dropped after a few laps, ultimately finishing four seconds behind 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike points leader Bulega.
“It’s always a nice feeling when you’re fighting with the top guys, starting from the first row, since this morning I felt so good,” Petrᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚucci s♉aid.
“I did my strategy, [which] was to stay as close as possible to the t🌼op-two guys, b♌ut Toprak [Razgatlioglu] I knew had something more and he was really fast.
“I tried to stay with Nicol🍸o [Bulega] but also he was faster than me [by] a couple of tenths per lap.
“But I saw that my gap was improving to𝓰 t꧃he riders behind me, so I tried to manage and stay on the podium.
“It’s always good, we are improving our pos🐈ition in the championship which is always a good feeling.”
The chance to be on the podium came from Superpole for Petrucc𒀰i, which went dramatically better for the Italian than in Cremona; there he was 13th, but in Most he was third thanks to a different strategy he used in the Czech Republic..
“I was completely alo🐻ne and I just did my job,” he saꦿid.
“I’m happy because we’re working so well. We are focusing to reach third place in the championship🐼, and trying to stay as close as possible to the top-two guys.”
Despite being able to stay within a second of 🌜the front two for the opening laps of Race 1, Petucci wasn’t optimistic of being able to challenge them more strongly on Sunday.
“At the beginning, maybe they were not pushing so much; I was🌃 doing the same [pace] but it was not my pace – I had to push a lot,” he said.
💞“Then, when they started to push, I did too, I started to ride faster, ꦬbut the gap was improving lap-by-lap.
“I had no weapons to fight with them, but we are good and I think this is th🎐e target for t𒁃omorrow: to come back on the podium.”
