Pramac Ducati rider Danilo Petrucci has said he’s “99 percent certain” the 2018 season will be his last. The Italian, who has shed four kilograms in a bid to convince would-be employers of his commitment, said: “I think I’m ready to go in a factory team, but I have to deserve it and I want to show in the first races that I’m ready. I will try to be as fast as possible, I think it’s the only thing that will help. If the factory Ducati is not an option – for sure it’s my dream – but if it’s not possible I will have to look around. And if there is still nothing, I have to go out and get a job!”
