Petrux is the hero of OCTO British GP and conquers the second place of an all-Italian podium

It was a stunning Sunday for OCTO #pramac #racing which is celebrating the second place won by #danilopetrucci at Parc Fermeé. Moreover, an extraordinary result obtained at Grand Prix of England, designed OCTO and with the Mameli's Anthem as a soundtrack to an all-Italian podium. On the contrary, not that lucky Yonny, whose race finished at the first braking after a sudden touch with Aleix Espargaro.

The Siena team of the Campinoti family is back to celebrations after the third place won in 2008 by Toni Elias during the Gran Prix of San Marino, the very next stage of MotoGP. It is a big marvelous party for Danilo who disputed an almost perfect race recovering 16 positions and trying to slightly undermine Valentino Rossi also.

During the last 4 laps the rider from Terni made up three seconds to the race's leader protecting this way a sensational second position.

But the very masterpiece of Petrux came up with incredible overtakings one after another, passing Jorge Lorenzo and winning a spectacular duel with Andrea Dovizioso.

 

The warm and touching hugs of the team together with the loud applause of the paddock and the handshakes of the operators underlined one more time the immensity of this achievement.

Petrux brings home the most exciting 20 points of his career which make possible for him to achieve the eighth position (83pts) in the #motogp World Ranking and to bring OCTO #pramac #racing (124pts) at -3 from the Top 5, while Yonny stops at 41pts (14° position).

"It was such an incredible race today that I still can barely realize what really happened out there. I went very fast during the warm up, but the race, you know, it's another thing. So I was a bit apprehensive while passing Pedrosa and Lorenzo because I thought they'd have pressed me. Then Dovi came along also, so at that point I decided to concentrate only on reaching Valentino, it was the only possible way to focus on the race. The team did a great job because we weren't that prepared on the dry but we knew how to fix our issues. They all trusted me and that helped me a lot. I am very thankful to the whole crew, to #pramac team, to Francesco Guidotti who chose me, to Campinoti family and Ducati for trusting in me. This win goes to my family, my mother, my father who brought me up with so many sacrifices. Repaying them this way it's the most beautiful thing in the world,

What a pity I fell at the first turn. I had good vibrations during the warm up. Unfortunately I touched with Aleix Espargaro at the first braking. At first I thought it was Vinales. It was only when I watched the replay of the images in the TV that I realized who I really touched with.
