Andrea Iannone managed to impose a personality in the sometimes very polite MotoGP peloton. We have a loud-mouthed Cal Crutchlow, but we also have a ruthless Andrea Iannone on the track. And the way of life out of step with colleagues whose rhythm of existence is regulated like clockwork, the quest for an image of an ideal son-in-law that appeals to advertisers. Iannone, we take it as it is. This is what Suzuki did, which fully assumes its choice.
So much so that during the presentation of the troops at Sepang, Suzuki did not censor in any way the comments made by its first driver in the clip of his presentation. Judge for yourself: “ I was born in Vasto, Italy on August 9, 1989 and I am 27 years old. I have been riding motorcycles since I was a child. I am the one who gives everything, always. Whatever the consequences ". This way of doing things Ducati saw the consequences in view of the arrival of the Argentine Grand Prix last year…
He pursues : " I hate being hit on the track. I get up late. I eat late. Then I'm going to train. And I go to bed late ". A confession in this environment of breeding champions with little onions. There, there seems to be a crack in the ideal lifestyle. And that makes him human...
« For me, motorcycling means daring. Always dare. I learned to dare. So when it's time to go I'm ready, it's like a walk. I learned from my mistakes. I learned patience. I learned to work for one goal. I like adrenaline, I like speed, I like braking, I like overtaking. I am Andrea Iannone, official Suzuki rider ».
We are clearly set. And it would be wrong not to consider him in the upcoming title race. His manager Charles Pernat also does its job by affirming that the latest Sepang tests had revealed a new wave led by Casa Particular in Viñales et Iannone. “ Andrea is at the center of a project and the Suzuki is going strong. They toured with three different bikes and the time on a lap is good as is the pace in general ».
It will be recalled thatAndrea Iannone achieved the second absolute time of the three days of Sepang testing. A performance of 1'59.452 achieved on the second day. Maverick Vinales on his Yamaha, set the benchmark on the third day in 1'59.368.
