For this weekend's 13th race of the 2017 MotoGP season, Andrea Iannone and his Suzuki Ecstar team return to Italy for the Grand Prix of Misano and the Rimini Riviera.
The lovely and warm location on the seaside will greet the teams for the penultimate round before the departure overseas.
For Andrea Iannone this will be a sort of “home grand prix.”
His hometown Vasto is only a couple of hours away from the Marco Simoncelli Misano World Circuit.
The improvements made to the setup after the Brno test are paying off, and although the results of last race were below expectations, the progress made give high hopes to the Italian for a positive race in Italy.
“I hope that since Misano is my home race I will be able to make it a good one this year.,” he said. “So far the results have been below my expectations. I hope I'll be able to have a better understanding of the situation and to react in the shortest time possible.”
“In Silverstone's race I struggled as well; I didn´t feel very confident in race, but it's strange because in practice we had some important improvements and I felt better with the GSX-RR. We must capitalize more on the improvements we make and to show them in the races. Let's start back to Misano with a better understanding, and find more competitiveness, with the hope of getting better results.”
