The unexpectedly inclement weather in Aragon complicated Suzuki Ecstar rider Andrea Iannone's working schedule on the first day in Aragon.
However, the Italian rider used his greater experience in wet conditions to his advantage ending in 14th place by the time the two free practice sessions had come to a close.
The entire day was affected by the weather, as the conditions were neither completely wet nor dry, effectively blocking all attempts to test the desired items and setups.
Iannone was able to improve a little from morning to afternoon, but it was impossible to do proper testing of the improvements and new setups.
The weather for Saturday is expected to be more consistent, which will likely lead to more effective work and a more solid classification.
“This was a day when it was very hard to figure anything out, as the track was neither wet nor dry,” he said. “The classification is very strange. It took nothing to gain half a second and be in the top, or to lose three seconds and be in last."
"In these conditions we couldn't really try anything, we just gave a shot to some setups, but right after three laps the tyres were already worn and so I couldn't push. Let's hope for better weather tomorrow so we are able to really start the weekend.”
