Danilo Petr🎃ucci has apologised to MotoGP world champion Casey Stoner for an incident in the closing stages of Friday's second free practice session for the⛦ Italian Grand Prix at Mugello.

Stoner was seen to put a harsh pass on Peಌtrucci as the pair accelerated towards the final turn and it seems the Repsol Honda rider was irked at an unseen previous 'near miss'.

Rookie Petrucci was certainly quick to apologise, Tweeting soon🌊 after the session: "I'm sorry with Casey but I was pushing hard and I can't see what happened behind me. My bike don't reach 300 km/h in main straight."

Petrucci's Aprilia powered Ioda did break the 300km/h mark on Fridaꦅy - just. But he was almost 14km/h behind the next slowest CRT and a massive 44km/h from the highest top speed of the day, recorded by Pramac Ducati's Hector Barbera.

UPDATEඣ: Stoner (Official_CS27) has now tweeted his own comments on the incid𝓡ent:

"I feel sorry for the guys o🅺n CRT's, they deserve to have a chance to show their talent on same eq♓uipment. The gap is way too big, not fair.

"Everyone is making a huge deal about myself and Petrucci mo💜re th✃an we are, I spoke my words, he spoke his and it's all good.

"I think everyone should𝓰 see both sides of the storyꦅ before making a judgement, especially since everyone only saw part 2 of the incident!"

Meanwhile Petrucci (Petrux9) has posted the above picture of his meeting with St🃏oner, adding♑ the words, "Real riders clarify things with the smile on the face."

Ston𓄧er was sixth in Friday practice and Petrucci 19th out of the 20 riders, with a best lap time four-seconds from pace sette🧸r Jorge Lorenzo.
