Tech3 KTM Factory Racing’s Danilo Petrucci concluded day one at the Spanish Motorland Aragón circuit inside the top 15 of the highly competitive premier class today, after missing out on a provisional Q2 spot by just 0.265 seconds. The Italian showed a decent opening day and improved by 1.39 seconds from FP1 in the morning to FP2 this afternoon.

Yet, Iker Lecuona delivered a similar strong Friday, finishing only 0.175 seconds behind his teammate. Following a crash in the morning session, he made some huge steps in Free Practice two to go 1.416 seconds faster. Now both, Petrucci and Lecuona aim to make the jump to Q2 for the first time in 2021 tomorrow.

Danilo Petrucci

Position: 15th

Time: 1:48.351

Laps: 35


"Since this morning I got a very good feeling with the front and could brake a lot later. The weakest points for us are always the long straights, but there are plenty of nice corners here, so I really enjoyed riding my bike today. In FP2 I just couldn’t put everything together, but I think if I can manage this tomorrow morning, I might make the jump to Q2. I’m really happy about this, because we are working a lot on the bike and we are gaining a good feeling. We still miss a bit of maximum speed to be really on top, but I’m still satisfied."

Laps: 31


"It was definitely not an easy day. I had a huge crash in the third lap of FP1. I felt really good and confident with the bike, but the tyre was too cold, I pushed too much and went down. Then I restarted to work in order to gain my confidence again. I have to say a huge thanks to my guys because they repaired the bike pretty quick to be ready for FP2. We worked hard, I felt good in the second session and I’m not far off the top. We still need to improve for tomorrow’s Qualifying, as I think we can fight for the Q2."
