There are still four races left Andrea Iannone to put an end to the ordeal that is this 2017 MotoGP season. Arriving at Suzuki with the difficult task of making people forget Maverick Viñales who left for Yamaha, Joe the Maniac must have become disillusioned. His off-season was encouraging, his start to the campaign interesting, then from errors to technical problems, he sank in the hierarchy and his GRX-RR with it. Aragon was a new disillusionment, all the more so as he was dominated by two KTMs in full progress. On GPone, he takes stock. And already think about 2018.
Andrea Iannone finished his Stations of the Cross in Aragon in twelfth place and 30 seconds behind the winner Marc Márquez. He explains why: “ the high temperatures of the afternoon made our tires suffer. We lost both when accelerating and when braking ". Braking which is the black point of the blue motorcycle: “ There are several problems to solve, but braking is the main one. I am unable to overtake when braking. In a straight line, it's still fine, but braking in a curve stresses the front of the bike and you systematically risk falling. ».
« I spoke about it with Suzuki, I adapted my riding style to take care of the bike. But that remains our weak point. Mid-corner, we systematically lose positions ". A situation which does not undermine the teammateAlex Rins : " Aragon was less bad than usual. I know where the problems are and we know how to solve them. New parts are coming and they will definitely be progress. But we have to wait for a radical change which will happen next year ».
Andrea Iannone is sixteenth in the championship, tied on points with the official KTM Pol Espargaro, or 37.
