Motogp: Petrucci Promosso in Ducati MotoGP: Petrucci promosso in Ducati Petrucci-Ducati: è ufficiale. Com’era nelle previsioni, la Ducati pesca in “casa” per sostituire il partente Lorenzo. Sarà Danilo Petrucci del team Pramac a fare coppia con Dovizioso nella prossima stagione. Intanto il mercato piloti entra nel vivo: Iannone lascia la Suzuki e firma con l’Aprilia. Sostituire un big con un giovane cresciuto in casa. In Ducati si guarda subito avanti, dopo l’addio di Jorge Lorenzo, destinazione Honda. La Rossa sceglie una soluzione “interna” promuovendo in prima squadra Danilo Petrucci, attualmente in sella al team Pramac. La scuderia di Borgo Panigale ha così annunciato ufficialmente una decisione nell’aria da diverso tempo. “Ducati Corse annuncia di aver raggiunto un accordo con Danilo Petrucci. Il pilota italiano entrerà a far parte del Ducati Team per la stagione 2019 per gareggiare al fianco del suo connazionale Andrea Dovizioso”. Dopo quattro stagioni alla Pramac, arriva la grande chance per il 27enne pilota ternano, cresciuto esponenzialmente nell’ultimo biennio. MotoGP: Petrucci promosso in Ducati Un pilota in rampa di lancio Sei i podi conquistati con la squadra satellite, tre soltanto nel 2017, la sua miglior stagione, conclusa all’8° posto. Chi ha avuto modo di seguire le vicende della MotoGP, ha avuto modo di vedere da vicino i progressi compiuti da Petrucci. Più volte vicino alla prima vittoria nella classe regina. Per molti, con il passaggio alla moto ufficiale, è soltanto questione di tempo. “Posso solo dire che fare parte della squadra ufficiale è un sogno che si avvera”. Queste le prime parole di Petrucci che ha aggiunto: “È un onore, specie per me che ho iniziato da collaudatore delle moto di produzione. Darò tutto per essere ricordato come uno di quei piloti che ha incarnato la filosofia e la passione per la Ducati. Come Bayliss, Stoner e Capirossi che sono rimasti nel cuore di tutti i ducatisti. Ora voglio concentrarmi per chiudere questa stagione tra i primi cinque e poi tuffarmi verso il 2019″. Di sicuro al ragazzo non manca l’ambizione. Vedremo fino a dove lo porterà. Una preoccupazione in meno per il Dovi La mossa della Ducati ha anche l’effetto di liberare Dovizioso di un compagno scomodo ai box, come poteva essere il Lorenzo dell’ultimo periodo. Al suo fianco non ci sarà più un big già affermato che può fargli ombra, poco propenso al lavoro di squadra. Ma un giovane alla prima esperienza in un team ufficiale. Desideroso di mettersi in gioco prima ancora di lottare per traguardi iridati. Giocoforza sarà ancora il Dovi, fresco di rinnovo per altre due stagioni, la prima guida di una casa che punta a rivincere il titolo mondiale. Mercato piloti: colpo Iannone per l’Aprilia che sogna La promozione di Petrucci alla Ducati ufficiale ha anche l’effetto di scatenare il mercato piloti che entra nel vivo. La Yamaha da tempo ha ufficializzato la permanenza di Rossi e Vinales, mentre la Honda ha scelto di puntare sul dream team Marquez-Lorenzo. Zarco sarà invece l’alfiere della nuova KTM insieme a Pol Espargarò. Rimangono dunque pochi i tasselli da sistemare. La notizia bomba è l’addio di Andrea Iannone che lascia la Suzuki dopo una sola stagione per accasarsi all’Aprilia. Un vero e proprio colpo per il team italiano in termini di esperienza, che può aiutare la RS-GP a crescere ancora. Per Iannone contratto di due stagioni: affiancherà il confermato Aleix Espargarò. MotoGP: Petrucci promosso in Ducati In Suzuki, al fianco di Alex Rins, approda lo spagnolo Joan Mir, che gareggia nel campionato di Moto 2 con il team Marc VDS Racing.

    PRESS INFORMATION MICHELIN COMBAT THE ARAGÓN HEAT AS MARQUEZ TRIUMPHS Michelin witnessed its range of MotoGP™ tyres produce a strong performance during today’s Gran Premio Movistar de Aragón from the MotorLand Aragón circuit in Spain as the heat rose on raceday before Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda) took victory. Temperatures soared to their highest point of the weekend as the riders lined up on the grid, causing many teams to make last minute changes to their chosen selection of MICHELIN Power Slicks, in readiness to combat the heat. As the race began the track thermometer was reading 45°C - higher than it has ever been at the Aragón circuit for a MotoGP event - and following all the changes, five of the six tyre compounds were now featured in different combinations throughout the field. Jorge Lorenzo (Ducati Team) was on pole after an exciting qualifying session on Saturday, which saw him take the first grid spot in the very last moment of the session, unfortunately for the Spaniard his race was short-lived as he crashed out on the first corner. This immediately handed the lead to his team-mate Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team), a position he held for the next 13-laps, before coming under pressure from Marquez. The pair then duelled out the remaining 10-laps of the 23-lap race, with the lead frequently changing hands as they pushed the Michelin tyres to the limit on a track that now had diminished grip levels due to the increased heat. Marquez was using a hard front and soft rear pairing, whilst Dovizioso had gone for a hard/hard combination and the two battled it out for the final laps as the characteristics of their respective bikes gave them the opportunity to use different tyres, but still extract maximum performance.

  • Motogp™ 2017 – MICHELIN Sees Marquez Serve up a Texan
    PRESS INFORMATION MICHELIN SEES MARQUEZ SERVE UP A TEXAN MASTERCLASS Michelin witnessed Marc Marquez continue his unbeaten run at the Circuit Of The Americas today as he raced to victory at the third round of the championship during the Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas held in Texas. Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) started from pole position following yesterday’s qualifying session, but had to concede the holeshot and first-lap advantage to team-mate Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda Team). The pair led the race as the pack started to form behind them, which was then quickly altered when championship leader Maverick Viñales crashed. As the race wore on Marquez and Pedrosa swapped positions at the front several times before the reigning World Champion seized the opportunity on lap-nine and took a decisive lead which he held until the chequered flag. Marquez crossed the line to take his fifth successive victory at COTA and his ninth consecutive MotoGP class win on American soil, whilst setting the fastest lap of the race on his 15th circulation. The battle for the podium positions was an entertaining affair as Pedrosa was hunted down by nine-time World Champion Valentino Rossi (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP). The Spaniard held off the charging Italian for as long as he could, but succumbed on lap-19 leaving Rossi to take second - a position which also gave him the lead in the World Championship Classification - with Pedrosa coming home third. Fourth place was the fight for the First Independent Rider position as Cal Crutchlow (LCR Honda) and Johann Zarco (Monster Yamaha Tech 3) both chased the spoils, with Crutchlow eventually getting the better of the rookie as the race concluded.
