Since his disappointment in Misano (the Ducati rider wanted to be able to try to ride a few laps on his Ducati on Saturday morning, but the doctors ultimately did not allow him to do so), Andrea Iannone is at home and goes around in circles, arming himself with patience while waiting for the Grand Prix in Aragon.
Indeed, as his agent, Charles Pernat, told us, there is nothing to do but let time do its work to heal the micro-fracture that occurred in his vertebra. A little exercise cycling and a little jogging constitute the only physical program for the Italian pilot.
Will he start the race? He himself doesn't know, and his decision will be made based on the level of pain he feels after the first attempts, as he told GPone...
Andrea Iannone: “The pain persists and never goes away. I had some tests and the doctors confirmed that I just needed time. Nothing else. If I stand or walk, I feel it a little less, but as soon as I try to do something, it becomes more acute. It's not possible to train, just a little exercise bike.
I'm going to Aragon. Once there I will try to get on the Ducati and only then will I know my condition. I want to try riding, but until I ride I can't know what will happen. »
