Andrea Iannone does not hide a bit of disappointment for second place on the Losail International Circuit, was released last corner in front of everyone, the goal has been seen for 61 milliseconds preceded by Marquez, after not having done away throughout the race. You could call it a moral victory "and I would love if this were so, but the reality is that they are second. A pity, but I can not say that not having tried until the last," says Abruzzo. Only the final shot back of the Spaniard has had the satisfaction of climbing to the top step of the podium. "It 'was a tough race from the start - he explains - were indeed numerous riders to go fast, I managed to stay for the entire race in the lead group but it was not easy, especially going back to Marc and Luthi."
The debut of his bike, the Speed Up, could not be better. "The team worked really well this winter - says Iannone - we focused on the development, without looking too much performance." The bike likes and areas of improvement are still high, "the work is not finished yet. Losing a race like today should not happen again, the advantage in acceleration of Marquez was important." The league is just starting, the speed of Italian is not in question, but the consistency is often lacking. "Constance? I have a friend called that, we hope you will help me at least - he jokes - This year has it all to me or the bike, you have to make the most of everything and opportunity. "
