Marc Marquez says he ‘didn’t see’ Andrea Iannone after the MotoGP world champion lost his pole position at Sepang as a result of an incident involving the Suzuki rider.
Andrea Iannone is taking heart from his Suzuki team-mate Alex Rins’ pace at the winter test in Thailand ahead of this weekend’s maiden MotoGP round at the Chang International Circuit. Iannone felt he struggled during the test in February, although Rins fared much better on the GSX-RR.
Podium finisher Andrea Iannone said his strategy to work on tyre management at Aragon paved the way for his first podium on the Ecstar Suzuki since Jerez.
Andrea Iannone and Alex Rins will run a new spec Suzuki engine at Assen in their factory GSX-RRs. The motor was tested by Sylvain Guintoli in the last round of the MotoGP World Championship at Catalunya and offers an improvement in overall top speed.
