MotoGP Sepang: Andrea Iannone “We managed to improve, I hope to have a good race”

Andrea Iannone will start from the fourth row tomorrow in Shell Advance Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix, fifteenth stage of the 2013 world championship which will take place tomorrow at 10 am (Italian) on the Sepang circuit. Compared to yesterday he and the team managed to improve the bike and therefore hopes to have a good race. The word is up to him.

“Today we managed to improve the bike, we worked well and I'm positive, this is thanks to my entire team. We have changed some things on the front, and now I have more confidence when braking, I can brake harder and the grip has increased slightly. Even if it's still not what we would like to have, it's better. The important thing is that during all the tests we felt the changes made, they gave positive and negative feedback but in this way we understood the directions to follow, improving in the right places. I'm happy. In the last session I should have changed the tire a little earlier, maybe I would have been faster, but I feel I can have a good race and I will definitely try. During Q1 I started on used tires and only changed them at the end, when I set the time that got me into Q2. The track after that was wet in some sections, it wasn't easy, but in the end we are in the top ten. For tomorrow I don't know if the rain will really be a problem, we'll see."
