With 75 to 74 points, he even left his team-mate Scott Redding , who, unlike the Italian, had once finished on the podium, just behind him. However, the low points were the Dutch TT and the German Grand Prix , where he fell while in the lead. His contract with Pramac was extended for two more seasons.
In 2017 , Petrucci finished on the podium four times, including two second places at the Dutch TT and at the San Marino Grand Prix , where he narrowly missed victory over Valentino Rossi and Marc Márquez in the last lap .
