🗣️ 'I thought I was slower than I was' Danilo Petrucci explains why he expected to be slower in practice on his first MotoGP outing as Joan Mir’s Suzuki replacement at the ThaiGP ⬇️
The double MotoGP race winner is making his return to the series with Suzuki as 2020 world champion Mir continues to recover from the ankle he broke in Austria in August.
Friday marked the first time Petrucci rode a Japanese bike in MotoGP and his first inline-four-cylinder engine since the Ioda BMW-powered Suter he raced in 2013. “I missed the time attack, but it’s OK just because this morning I was so happy I was not last and this afternoon I felt I could have finished one second from the fastest, 1.3s,” Petrucci said.
