Iannone swore as he got off his Desmosedici for the last time at the end of the Valencia Grand Prix that he would always keep Ducati in his heart. Certainly, but it was a Suzuki that seduced him from the first contact. We could almost call it love at first sight in the love-cow style of Jo the Maniac who opened his list of falls with his new mount.
A fall certainly, but not serious and others fell starting with Rossi The fact remains that this GSX-RR pleases the Italian and it does him well. Unlike Yamaha which made Lorenzo silent in asserting the terms of his contract, Iannone was able to express himself while he is a Ducati rider until the end of the year: “ I am very happy with this day because we worked without pressure, without stress, to understand the situation and everything is going well ».
« The team is fantastic and that's something important. The sensations are good overall, including with the bike. We're staying focused on what we'll do tomorrow, and we're going to change a few things on the bike, just to see ».
« Unfortunately I fell but it's dangerous here when the temperatures drop, especially on the right turns. It was a small fall. We will try to progress tomorrow. I didn't use the new tires today, I took worn tires and they weren't soft ". It will therefore be necessary to expect a Iannone on fire tomorrow once he is properly shod.
The Italian finished the day seventh, just over two tenths behind the former Suzuki rider now at Yamaha. Casa Particular in Viñales. His new teammate and beginner alex rins is twenty-first, 1.881s behind the best time of the day.
