Ex-MotoGP racer Danilo Petrucci admits WorldSBK has been harder than he imagined after scoring a first podium in the series last weekend at Donington Park:
Petrucci switched to WSBK this season with satellite Ducati squad Barni Racing following his first foray into Superbike racing with a campaign in MotoAmerica with the Italian marque last year in which he just fell short of the title.
Looking back on his success, Petrucci said his pace around Donington came as a surprise but admitted he previously envisaged his first WSBK podium would come much sooner. “The other riders want to beat me because I’m a MotoGP race winner. They are all hungry. I’m not afraid to say I imagined it would be easier to get [a podium] after wins and many podiums in MotoGP, but it was quite difficult.”
