MotoGP GP Valencia Ducati Qualifying – Yesterday he said it, and today the confirmation arrived, Danilo Petrucci is missing a "dry" lap in Valencia.

The rider from Terni, in his penultimate race with Ducati, did not go beyond the fifth row, fifteenth fastest in qualifying for the Valencian Community Grand Prix, qualifying held with slick tires but with a few drops of rain falling.

The race will be all uphill and the goal will be the Top Ten. Here's what Petrux said, who we remember will be riding the KTM of Team Tech 3 next year.

“In FP3 things went better, then the rain came and I chose the wrong moment. It's not a good feeling running like that, I almost fell several times. It's a pretty bad feeling, you don't know if it's raining all over the track, sometimes the flags wave, sometimes they don't, it's really difficult to understand how daring you can be. When Binder passed me I saw that he was going in the dry, it's probably also a question of his youth, he was really fast. In the second run I then found rain and gusts of wind, it's also a mental issue when you see drops of water on the fairing and on the visor of the helmet.

“I've already had the opportunity to get to know them, we talked especially in the last meeting to understand when we can start, but KTM has lost the concessions this year and therefore we will have to wait for Sepang, even if with this situation (Covid-19, ed.) nothing it's a given. I've only been to the factory once, when I signed.”

“I hope to go, but it seems he will do it as a professional, I don't know if it will be worth going! However, I would like to get back on a motocross bike as soon as possible even if the situation in Italy right now is not easy (referring to the Coronavirus pandemic, ed.).
