MotoGP Le Mans: Danilo Petrucci, “I'm very happy, I've taken a weight off myself”

Danilo Petrucci MotoGP 2016 French GP Pramac Racing – Danilo Petrucci was the author of a good race at Le Mans, finishing in seventh place, a seventh place worth gold if you consider that for the Team Pramac rider it was the first race after the double injury to his right hand which occurred in the tests of Phillip Island and then in Qatar, where even without falling he had broken his hand again. Here's what "Petrux" said at the end of the race, where he also spoke about his home race in Mugello.

"I'm very happy. Now I can say that a burden has been lifted. It was a very difficult period and I thank everyone who was close to me. I didn't even know if I would be able to finish free practice and now I find myself with this nice seventh place. I'm happy but I don't want to stop here – said Danilo Petrucci – At Mugello I hope to be able to lap a little closer to the leading group. Here with a bit of luck I managed to finish seventh but we can do better. In the meantime, however, it's right to enjoy this result, especially my team who, as usual, did an extraordinary job."
