An almost uninterrupted succession of more or less tight turns, only interspersed by two short straights, one of which goes downhill; the German route is, on paper, not a gift for the Ducati.
And this is confirmed in the results obtained, the first Italian machine ranking 5th in 2015 with Iannone, 5th in 2014 also with Iannone (Pramac), 7th with Dovizioso in 2013 and 6th in 2012 with Rossi.
In short, if a driver from the Borgo Panigale productions can achieve the near feat of getting on the German podium on Sunday, it could well be the fiery Andrea Iannone who also has, without a doubt, the deep motivation to delight Hector Barbera and his old GP14.2 their “first place for the Ducatis” in the world championship rankings.
Andrea Iannone, 8th, 52 points: “The Sachsenring circuit hasn't been particularly beneficial for us in recent years, but as the bike is much better, we hope to improve that this year.
In the past we also had some difficulties with Assen, but we were competitive there all weekend this year, so I'm sure we can have a good race in Germany. »
