Danilo Petrucci: Body fat, braking, overtaking and Toprak - Exclusive Full story 👉
“I don’t know if in MotoGP he can brake as hard as he is doing now in World Superbike, but it's really a pleasure to see him racing and I think he can do well in MotoGP.“For sure, he's using all his skills and all the potential that his bike has in World Superbike at the moment.
“You can see clearly that under braking we just had a little bit of a stoppie. But if you compare with photos of some years ago, the bikes were braking with the rear tyre high in the air all the way to the corner. “At the same time, Pedrosa was really in trouble, because such a strong tyre construction didn't help him with his light weight. But maybe it was helping me, because I remember so many times I was the fastest in FP3, in the cool morning conditions, because I was able to push the tyre.
“You need to be out of the line to try an overtake, because if you brake behind another rider you just don't have the ‘air’ to stop you. At 1.81m and around 80kg, Petrucci spent much of his Grand Prix career fighting an increasingly difficult battling to overcome time lost to his lighter rivals in acceleration.
It’s a concept that has been regularly brought up in the past, but ultimately never adopted for the premier-class. “I arrived in Thailand [for testing] 5kg lighter. But it was simply not possible for me to stand this situation, because the gap to the lightest rider was still 15kg but now my physical condition [strength/endurance] was worse.
“Because you are fighting with the top guys in the world, everybody is so good at everything and so losing something just because you are taller is difficult to accept.”After the revised rear tyre added to his size issues in 2020, and having already lost his factory Ducati seat to Jack Miller, Petrucci made a fresh start with a return to satellite status at Tech3 KTM for 2021.
“Especially when you try your best at home, at the track, in the garage and the results are not coming - it’s something that destroys your brain.
