MotoGP: “Not so happy” Iannone left wanting more improvements

Andrea Iannone may have been the Suzuki representative inside the top ten on Sunday but it just a 10th place for the Italian, who was up the sharp end at the beginning of the race. Iannone, who struggled at the 2017 Catalan GP, believes that Suzuki still have work to do ahead of the forthcoming rounds.

“I’m not so happy because I tried really hard but I couldn’t achieve the result I wanted. For sure we have improved the bike a lot in some areas, but in others we still have work to do, especially when accelerating and trying to control sliding.

“In any case, I’m happy with my performance because I tried my best when the tyres were good, and I was close to the top at the start so that was important. I hope we’ll make more improvements in the coming races.”

Andrea Iannone is looking to become the first Italian to win on a Suzuki since Franco Uncini at Silverstone in 1982. As well as this, ‘The Maniac’ is looking to become the seventh rider in the MotoGP era to have won on two different manufacturers.
