This weekd the World Superbike Championship had a couple of tests on Barcelona and one rider once again standing out was Andrea Iannone, as he finished the tests with the fourth time in the combined standings.
Looking at his performance on track, the italian, who is making his debut on WSBK and returning from a four year ban on the worlds, was quite happy: ‘It was a good day of testing, I’m satisfied with the teamwork and I think that little by little my feeling with the bike and the tyres is improving, making me more and more competitive. In the first few days I struggle slightly more, due to the long stop, but then I am back to interesting levels quite quickly, surprising myself with our results’.
He then concluded his review of the work with a positive note: ‘I’m happy with how we worked with the team and the support from Ducati. I thank Gigi Dall’Igna, Claudio Domenicali, Paolo Ciabatti, Mauro Grassilli and the whole Go Eleven team for support. This week we hope to recover well and to find similar conditions during the race weekend’.
