The 2017 MotoGP season is nearly at an end, with only two races to go, the penultimate set to be contested this weekend at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia.
This will also be the last of the three consecutive rounds that took teams to Japan and Australia before arriving here.
The last two races have been positive for Andrea Iannone, marking a solid improvement in his bikes development.
With a 4th and a 6th place for Iannone, in Japan and Australia, the Suzuki Factory rider arrives in Malaysia with renewed enthusiasm.
The positives results were borne of two very different conditions: wet in Motegi and dry at Phillip Island.
This indicates solid progress of the GSX-RRs that has proven to be competitive in different conditions.
โAfter two good races I'm pretty confident we are going in the right direction,โ he said. โI'm very happy as well because Suzuki is working really hard to improve and now we are doing better. In Australia I had fun and I felt fast with the bike. Unfortunately, in the end of the last laps the tyre was worn and I couldn't keep my position with Crutchlow, but Sepang is a track we know really well. During the pre-season we set a good pace, but now the situation is different. The main problem here is the heat and the tyre performance, but hopefully we can put together another good race.โ
