Miller and Petrucci rate their MotoGP pre-seasons

Alma Pramac Ducati MotoGP stars Jack Miller and Danilo Petrucci have wrapped up their pre-season testing and now have only one weekend of drinking and eating pizza left before the season starts in Qatar.

After the desert test, the pair wrote down what they thought was good and bad about the three tests at Sepang, Buriram and Losail.

Jack Miller - 'My score out of 10? 5. Could be better, could be worse...'

I am happy with the work we did in the winter tests. We've lapped a lot and got a lot of information that allowed us to make steps forward day after day. We have managed to overcome the difficulties that have arisen in every circuit and this is an important aspect. I can say that we have taken the right direction.

PLUS

We were fast enough in each circuit, improving my time day after day and lap after lap. The sensations are very positive: I feel at ease on the bike, I have confidence and I am ready to fight.

MINUS

The two crashes in Malaysia and Thailand were a bit stupid: I could call them rookie mistakes.  In Qatar, however, it was a very strange thing. Nobody likes to crash. I crashed once at each test. From now on… 'no more anymore'.

Danilo Petrucci - 'My score out of 10? 8- I am really satisfied with the tests'

I added a minus because of the crash in Qatar even though, honestly, it was a really weird crash. I did a very good race simulation, we were always fast. In all three tests there have been few difficult moments so I'm very happy and this gives us great confidence since there were many problems in the past years winter tests.

PLUS

We made very few changes on the bike and this means that the bike is fine. We were the only ones to do all 22 laps of the race. It will not give us a prize but mentality it has given us a great plus.

MINUS

The crash on the second day of Qatar testing was completely unexpected. A pity because I wanted to finish the tests without crashing. I also arrived deliberately in a good physical shape later Hopefully it will bear fruit during the season.
