MotoGP | Malaysian GP Day 1: Petrucci, “There is great confidence for the qualification”

MotoGP Gp Sepang Ducati Pramac Day 1 – Danilo Petrucci closed the first day of testing for the Malaysian Grand Prix (eighteenth and penultimate stage of the 2018 MotoGP) in seventh position.

The rider from Terni from Team Pramac Ducati is fast on a single lap, but still needs to improve on race pace. When the tires overheat they trigger a vibration which causes them to lose grip. He has the microphone.

“We're in good shape in terms of speed but I don't know if we can be as fast lap after lap in terms of race pace,” said Danilo Petrucci. “When the tires start to heat up I feel a vibration that makes me lose grip. I haven't tried the soft yet and we will do it tomorrow. There is great confidence about the qualification.”
