Pramac Press Release: Crew Chief Daniele Romagnoli On Danilo Petrucci

The Pramac Racing team today issued a press release containing a brief interview with Daniele Romagnoli, the new crew chief for Danilo Petrucci. Romagnoli, formerly crew chief to Cal Crutchlow and team manager for Jorge Lorenzo, has left the factory team to work with Petrucci at the satellite Ducati squad. The press release interview is short, but interesting nonetheless:Daniele Romagnoli: "Feeling immediately created between Petrucci and the 14.1"Danilo Petrucci and his crew chief Daniele Romagnoli are the two main novelties of Pramac Racing for the Motogp season 2015.

We started very quietly to let Danilo get used to the bike. On the second day the great surprise: he settled the fastest time in the wet.

On the third day we worked on the set up to let Danilo understand how to adapt himself to rear grip and how to handle the power.

The seventh fastest time made our day and we all went home happy". Year:  2015 read more
