In today’s MotoGP gossip column, Danilo Petrucci admits the last two years of his MotoGP career were spent in the ‘wrong team’, while Jorge Lorenzo claims he would have stayed with Honda beyond 2019 had it not been for his Assen crash.
Former MotoGP rider Danilo Petrucci believes his last two seasons in the premier class were spent with the wrong team at the wrong time.
The Italian’s last MotoGP win came in 2020 after dominating a wet race in Le Mans, however, Petrucci struggled outside of that result as he managed just seven top ten results in 14 races. But given the RC16 was one of the better packages to be on in 2020 and Ducati won the most races in 2021, Petrucci was with the right manufacturers but at the ‘wrong time’.
"Somehow I can't get rid of the feeling that I was in the wrong team at Ducati and KTM over the past two years, “ Petrucci told"I have made a mistake. When I look back, I should have done it differently. In 2020 the Ducati wasn't particularly competitive, at least not for me, but in 2021 they won most of the races.
