MotoGP | GP Jerez Day 1: Petrucci, “Problems on the flying lap”

MotoGP 2021 Spanish GP Jerez KTM Tech3 Factory Racing – Danilo Petrucci did not go beyond the 17th time on the first day of testing for the Spanish Grand Prix, the fourth round of the 2021 MotoGP championship scheduled for Sunday on the Jerez track.

The rider from Terni is quite fast on the race pace, but on the flying lap he is unable to exploit his KTM RC16. A big problem from a qualifying perspective, here's what "Petrux" said.

“Today we tried different things, but more or less we still have a good pace with the race tyres, but with the new soft tires I can't really improve. Our job for now is to find out why. In general, I like the bike, but I can't go faster with the soft tyre, and it's a big problem for the start and everything, so tomorrow we definitely have to focus on that.”
