Andrea Iannone arrives in Aragon with a micro-fracture in the T3 vertebra treated since his fall during free practice at Misano. A painful injury which worries the doctors who banned him from starting the last Grand Prix in San Marino. The Ducati official would have every reason to turn his back. But that's not knowing Jo the Maniac.
More than ever, the winner of the last Austrian Grand Prix arrives in Aragon with the intention of holding his place and the handlebars of his Desmosedici. Above all, he hopes that the doctors will not give him a blow in the back by not granting their discharge after the medical examination. A situation that he had experienced badly at Misano, when the circuit doctors had pinned him to the pits while their colleague from Dorna swore that he could have started.
That said, even with the permission of the experts, the Italian will have to show courage to face the nagging pain that has accompanied him since the accident: “ Over the past few days I have been training as much as possible to recover from that fall, but my back is still sore » comments the one who is angry at having seen his teammate Dovizioso pass him in front for three points because of San Marino's package.
« We'll see what the doctors in Aragon say, but I'll do my best, as always. If I can ride, I hope I will be in a good position to manage my pain. I think this route can be favorable to us and I had a good performance there last year ". The one who will join Suzuki next year had in fact qualified on the first row last year before finishing the race just off the podium. He also won near Alcaniz in 2010, during the Moto2 era.
