Statements Danilo Petrucci GP Misano MotoGP Qualifying
“It bothers me a little that I didn't do two perfect laps, I'm sorry because I could have done a little better but all in all I regained a bit of speed and consistency and in FP4 I felt good towards the end of the session. We concentrated on braking, now there's a bit of rideability missing but I'm happy with the feeling I've found with the bike, even if I could have done better. I want to be positive for tomorrow, it could be the key to the season. Last week and after Austria I went through one of the most difficult moments of my career. Many things affect performance, both technically and mentally. I'm happy to be back fast and to feel good on the saddle. This year you have to be a superhero to stay ahead, 99% is no longer enough but 100% is needed."
