MotoGP Qatar Day 2: Danilo Petrucci, “It didn't go as I expected”

MotoGP 2015 GP Qatar Ducati Pramac – A dissatisfied Danilo Petrucci spoke at the end of the second day of testing for the Qatar GP. The Iodaracing rider from Terni, after yesterday's excellent performance (he achieved the sixth fastest time), was unable to take advantage of the soft tire and this will force him to participate in Q1 to look for a place in Q2. Here's what "Petrux" said.

“It didn't go as I expected. We started with the right pace and with the race tires I felt the bike was working well. But the data says that the soft tire put on to try the time did not respond well. Unfortunately it was the only opportunity we had to go directly into Q2. I'm sorry because I had great confidence. Tomorrow we will do a reset starting from Q1. It will be tough to take the first two places but we still have all the margins. I'm sorry because we didn't make a mistake. Just a bit of bad luck.”
