MotoGP | GP Silverstone Day 1: Luca Marini, “I had really little grip”

Ducati Sky VR46 Avintia GP Silverstone MotoGP 2021 – Luca Marini closed the first day of free practice at the Silverstone Grand Prix with the 17th fastest time.

“In general, a Friday with very cold temperatures and particular and complicated track conditions. With this cold, I had very little grip in FP1, there are many potholes and I struggled. Better in Fp2, I started with M and felt good. It's a shame about the two time attacks because I found a lot of traffic and wasn't able to exploit all the potential at our disposal. The sensations are good and the top ten are not far away. We still have a little bit to fix and gain direct access to Q2 in Fp3.”
