«Марк Маркес также борется со страхом; разница в том, что он не боится упасть на последних кругах» - Данило Петруччи

MotoGP is a sport where danger is always present, despite all the safety measures in place in the motorsport world. In a recent interview, Danilo Petrucci spoke about the fear of running at high speeds and mentioned that even in MotoGP, riders have this feeling, although they didn't say much about it.

“In my opinion, there is [fear in MotoGP]. And also because if you didn't have it, you'd be a fool. In MotoGP you don't drive between houses at 300 km/h like on the Isle of Man, then I don't have the courage. When you're in MotoGP, you also have a self-preservation instinct that says, "Why am I afraid to fall?" You don't want to be on the ground and it's a fight with yourself, but you're often afraid: when you lose your bike for a second that feels like an hour ago, you don't know where you're going; then you're afraid, you don't like it," he said in an interview with Man on Wheels, quoted by Motosan.

More on this topic of fear, Petrucci spoke on behalf of Marc Marquez: “In my opinion, he also struggles with it, the difference when he ran against him was that he was not afraid to fall in the last laps. I had such control over the bike that I could pull it up.”
