Si Marc Márquez arrive at Jerez with morale invigorated by his new triumph in Austin, there is no doubt that this cheerful mood will be shared by Andrea Iannone. He too, in Texas, regained his health and firstly because he returned to a podium which had eluded him since Valencia 2016. He therefore brought his first convincing result to the Suzuki firm and before undertaking the road to the Spanish Grand Prix, he assures us that he has no intention of stopping there…
Especially since last year, with a GSX-RR that had lost its bearings, he qualified fifth, before falling on the eighteenth lap of the race. For this edition in Jerez, he hopes to do much better: “ I hope that we will relive the same positive things as in Austin » announces Joe the Maniac. “ Last year it wasn't easy at Jerez, but we had difficulties then. But there were also positive things that are useful to us now ».
« This time everything is different. Whether in terms of approach or situation. We have made great progress and we are on good momentum. I can't wait to do it again to get a new podium. The one taken in Texas was a real boost both for me and for my team who were rewarded for all their efforts. We are making progress and we are on the right track. We hope to be competitive again for a very good result ».
Iannone is sixth in the championship, ahead Red and claims 31 points. His future is far from assured at Suzuki, which on the other hand would like to retain its teammate Kidneys. Furthermore, it is said that Lorenzo would really steal his place. Like two years ago at Ducati!
