2015 MotoGP - Pramac Racing in the Top 10 after the first free practice in Qatar

Pramac Racing Team went back to the Losail Circuit in Doha, Qatar, for the first free practice of the 2015 MotoGP season and scored an extraordinary result by placing its two riders in the Top 10 even though both of them felt less comfortable with the track conditions than in the last pre-season test. Danilo Petrucci showed great lucidity and determination as he was forced during his last run to switch off his Desmosedici GP14. After running back to the pit box and thanks to the prompt reaction of the team which prepared the second bike at very short notice, he managed to go out again notching up a laptime of 1'55.939 (less than 7 tenths from the best laptime of Marc Marquez ) which allowed him to end the day in 6th place. A good start also for Yonny Hernandez who worked intensively on his Desmosedici Gp14.2. On his quickest lap the Colombian rider recorded a ltime of 1'56.139 which earned him 8th place.

"I am very satisfied with my laptime even if this is only the first day of free practice. But it is a good start which can give a little boost to all of us. The problem with the bike? I was going out for the last run but i saw a LED come on and I preferred to stop. I had to run one kilometer, hoping that the boys were aware of the problem. I thank the team for putting me in a position to get back on the track soon."

"A first very positive day for me. I'm in the Top 10 and this is our goal. I hope to be able to improve day by day starting from tomorrow. I am very happy with the result but the season has just begun. We are working very well to find a good pace, especially with the race tyre. Meanwhile i'm happy for the laptime recorded".
