Charles Pernat remains an informed observer of the MotoGP paddock which he surveys as manager of the sulphurous Andrea Iannone. While waiting for the latter to reveal himself in a favorable light while riding the Aprilia, he gives his evaluations on past meetings. The last one in Austin was no exception.

He also benefited from the experience of Davide Brivio. Suzuki has regained its former strength ».
