Andrea Iannone is still following his «recovery» and (re)adaptation on the worlds, now at WSBK. In the second day of tests at Portimao, the italian was 16th but, despite being 1.465s off the fastest, his feelings are great, even more on a new circuit for him.
‘With the race tyres, we are in a good position. We are quite fast. It’s possible to improve a little bit and we need to, but the difficulty for me is the track. With the race bike, I’ve never ridden here, and it was really difficult because I didn’t have a reference’, he start saying quoted on the official website of the championship, before continuing:
– I had a lot of fun. We tried something with the setup, but we’ll receive the 2024 package in Australia and, I’m positive. I signed before we started in this way and on this level. Some moments are completely unexpected. We don’t know what to expect and it’s important that we work well. I don’t want to have big expectations because I know we will have really difficult moments, but also, the possibility to have really good moments. I think the target is high.
His wish for doing well, that desire, is still «there», as the Tem GoEleven rider said: ‘We are here to have really good results’.
