MotoGP Germany, Petrucci: “The Sachsenring suits me, I’m confident”

In his last two visits to the Sachsenring, in 2018 and 2019, Danilo Petrucci just missed out on the podium with a strong fourth-place finish. This weekend he’ll be back at the German track, with a different bike, or rather the KTM RC16, and he’s confident he can perform well during this eighth championship round.

An important opportunity

Danilo himself admits: “I am very positive about Germany, because the Sachsenring is a track that I always liked and which suits me well, mainly because there are not many slow corners”. It might also suit his new steed and he adds: “It’s a small track, so we have no long straight, which makes it a bit easier for us”.

After recent test sessions at Barcelona, during which he also tested the new frame, “Petrux” aims to improve on the fifth-place finish he scored in France, his best result so far this season: “I think, we can be really fast there and it’s a good opportunity to show our progress this weekend”.
