PETRUCCI
DOB : 1990-10-24 Birthplace : TERNI Height : 181 CM Weight : 80 KG
A former European Superstock runner-up in 2011 , the stocky Italian entered the premier class in 2012 via the CRT class . Petrucci came close to retiring from racing in 2014 , when a wrist injury necessitated a lengthy spell on the sidelines . But his gutsy displays aboard CRT machinery earned him a call up to Pramac Racing in 2015 , where he scored six memorable podiums in the following four years . He was promoted to Ducati ’ s Factory team in 2019 but despite earning a memorable debut win at that year ’ s Italian Grand Prix , he fell out of favour with Ducati management , making 2020 – with the exception of a wet win in France – a tough campaign . A move to KTM ’ s Tech 3 team has provided a fresh challenge but Petrucci has struggled to get the best from the RC16 , with his size once again proving an issue . His future remains uncertain with a move to off-road competition an aim as he has lost his seat in MotoGP™ in 2022 .
