Andrea Iannone is an Italian premier class racer who first features with team Ducati and raised eyebrows with his riding style. He is one among the fastest riders of world and this year, his adaptability with the new GSX-RR will be on test throughout the season.
He clearly aims at the top 5 and feels ready after long winter break and hard training sessions. He has worked hard on mental control and thinks that it will work for sure this season. Alex Rins plans to practice more on his new GSX-RR and keep learning new things through regular practice sessions.

Everyone was working full time in the winters to create the perfect balance between man and his machine. They now know the improvements that GSX-RR has gone through and thus, better results are an obvious expectation. Suzuki is participating for the fourth time after a long break and scoring something good will be of utmost importance.
