Since his victory in Austria, Andrea Iannone has been at the forefront and presents himself as the spearhead of the Ducati factory. However, whoever moves to Suzuki at the end of this season has bad luck in the race.
A front tire which failed in Brno, paralyzed forearms in Great Britain, so many pitfalls which kept him away from a podium which he would have deserved. This time, it is Misano which presents itself to him and the one who opens his Porsche with a hammer hopes to engrave this edition of the San Marino Grand Prix with a chisel. He assures him, he will not play petit-bra: “ I don't think I will encounter the physical problem at Silverstone again » assures the 27-year-old pilot. “ I have never experienced this since my forearm surgery in 2013. So I am confident for this weekend ».
« This time, the weather should be nicer than in England, which should allow us to build our weekend with each session. I think the Desmosedici will be competitive on this track. We did tests there two weeks ago, and we had a good feeling even though the competition was absent. We will have the opportunity to have a good race ».
Andrea Iannone did three San Marino Grands Prix in MotoGP. His best result so far is a fifth position acquired in 2014 after starting second on the starting grid. Last year, he finished seventh ahead of his teammate Dovizioso. Ducati will field three GP16s this weekend since Michele Pirro will join the two official Andreas.
