The guy is solid and he is coming off a resounding victory. In fact, we forget his physical condition marked by bruised ribs following an accident during summer training. This Friday in Brno, Andrea Iannone did not seem to suffer from it given her performances. And yet…
It’s a Andrea Iannone happy but tired finishing his first day in the Czech Republic. Tired, because his accident during the summer break following a fall while motocross brought back bad memories: “ I suffered a lot in the afternoon, but it was worse in the morning. But I will be better with appropriate painkillers for qualifying and for the race ". Note that the Ducati official finished first in the morning and second in the afternoon. Fortunately for his adversaries he is not in full possession of his means!
Now, the satisfaction of riding a high-performance motorcycle means many things: “ we started well, the sensations are good on this track with the bike. I ride naturally and the times fall. I wasn't at the limit. I am very happy. I expected to be fast on this track but not as fast as that ».
« We changed a lot of things on the bike in the afternoon. We tried new settings. Some areas have been improved but some things have also been lost. It's important to find a good balance for Saturday, and I'm sure my engineers will do whatever it takes to help us progress. I am very happy with the soft rear tire. It holds up well, both on the track and over the distance ". We will remember that it was with a soft tire option that he built his success last weekend in Austria: “ now the hard tire is not so bad. We have enough to have a good rhythm regardless ».
On this, the 27-year-old rider who will be a Suzuki rider in 2017 sees where he still needs to improve: “ it is in T2 that we lose a lot. This sector melts away all the advance accumulated in the others. For the moment, I prefer the “old” chassis and I plan to continue with it. Our services are at the level of Yamaha or Honda and on certain points we have taken a lot from them ". Here are the Japanese warned.
