Pramac Racing - MotoGP: Petrux celebrates his Top 10, Yonny starts fast but crashes on lap 8
The first overseas weekend of the season ends with satisfaction for the tenth place of Danilo Petrucci and regrets for the slide of Yonny Hernandez who had appeared to be in great form since the morning warm up (third laptime). At the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, the two Pramac Racing riders both got a great start. Yonny Hernandez soon managed to make up six positions, gaining ninth place followed by Danilo Petrucci who overtook his teammate on lap 3. Five laps later the Colombian rider crashed in the last corner before the main straight and was unable to rejoin the race. Danilo continued to push hard fighting in a nice battle with Maverick Vignales but he had to give way to the Spaniard with two laps remaining. The rider from Terni finished the race with the satisfaction of being in the Top 10 and also in the overall standings (9th with 10 points). Pramac Racing moves up to 16 points in the team standings (7th position) Petrux celebrates his Top 10. Yonny starts fast but crashes on lap 8
10° Danilo Petrucci - Pramac Racing #9
"I started very well but on the first lap I struggled a little bit and the riders in front went away immediately. I had a bit of difficulty with the agility of the bike having preferred to favor stability. This made me physically exhausted and after a few laps the bike felt really heavy. But it was a choice of mine so I have no recrimination. Then I pushed to keep Vinales behind me. I felt I had more engine power but the bike was sliding a lot so I decided not to risk and bring back home a positive Top 10. I have to thank my team and Ducati. Everybody is helping me a lot, I feel I have confidence and this allows me to work quietly to try to stay with the riders in front. It would have been nice to finish ninth but we'll try to do that in Rio Hondo, a track that I like a lot, as it has different characteristics"
Yonny Hernandez - Pramac Racing #68 - Crashed on lap 8
"I started very well but with the hard tire I could never find the pace to go fast. I felt I lost grip on the front tyre and I would have to slow down a bit. In the corner before the main straight I made a mistake losing the rear wheel and I crashed. I'm very sorry but I was really at the limit in every corner and it would have been very difficult to get to the end continuing to push hard. Now I have to focus on the Grand Prix of Argentina, which I consider almost a home race. I will have much motivation. I will give my best to make a good result and leave this weekend behind me".
