MotoGP Le Mans: Petrucci, “It's the second time this year, I'm very disappointed”

Gp Le Mans MotoGP Ducati Pramac– Sunday to forget for the Octo Ducati Pramac team at the French Grand Prix on the Bugatti circuit in Lemans. Both drivers were forced to retire due to technical problems.

Danilo Petrucci, after yesterday's qualifying which left him in nineteenth position, managed to get up to eighth place.
Unfortunately during the sixteenth lap, while he was battling with Jorge Lorenzo, an oil leak put an end to his chase.

These are the words of Danilo Petrucci: “I had a lot of bad luck this weekend. Unfortunately I didn't do well in qualifying and had to start in 19th position. But the start of the race was very good. I was behind Lorenzo and felt I had a good feeling. I tried to push and felt I could pass him. Unfortunately, however, I had a problem with the bike and I had to stop to avoid ruining the engine. It's the second time this year and I'm very disappointed about it. At Mugello I want to have a great race."

Scott Redding's qualifying had gone much better than his teammate's, but the Englishman also suffered the same fate. What stopped the #45 was a gearbox problem during the seventh lap.

These are the words of Scott Redding: "It's a shame. I felt I was doing very well. It was a great weekend. I had a lot of confidence after the Jerez tests and I had great confirmation in free practice and qualifying. The start was good even if I had some grip problems in the first laps. But I managed to maintain the position and the race pace was very positive. It may seem strange but if I have to be honest I'm happy with this weekend because I found a great feeling. See you at Mugello!”.
