"I had a bit of trouble feeling at the back on the first two laps, then I managed to increase the speed and bridge the gap with the leading racer," Pecco said via Ducati's official website, Sunday, August 4. "Our potential was very high, but unfortunately, I went into the fourth corner a little too early and the front was tucked away," he added. "This is a shame because I feel comfortable and I think I can overtake Aleix (Espargaro) at the turn of six or 15, and finally fight for victory," he continued. Without points in Sprint made himself now entering the 20 lap main race today at 19.00 WIB with only one point advantage at the top of the standings while Martin reached nine points at the Sprint session.
