MotoGP: Iannone: we have what we need to score better results

Turning the page and starting over, this could be Andrea Iannone's slogan, after a first half of the championship that failed to meet with expectation. Up until now, he hasn't been able to find that confidence with the Suzuki, but the italian has no intention of giving up.

He used the break to recharge his batteries and not only that: “I’m happy to get back to racing. I used this break to train a lot. I also took a rest especially to calm my mind, but the main focus has been the physical training. We need to start from the Sachsenring race where we discovered something important which allowed me to ride the GSX-RR more confidently..

The Czech track is one that the Italian enjoys: “I'm totally focused on the weekend. In this second part of the Championship we have to produce better results than in the first nine races. I know that the whole team is eager for some positive results and I’m confident we have all the potential to succeed."

On the other side of the garage Alex Rins also stayed in shape during the holidays. He hasn't had an easy 2017 so far: "This year’s vacation has been very different from what I was used to. I tried to work as hard as possible to completely recover from the arm and the ankle injuries, as well as getting physically toned. It's been a real training period and I was able to enjoy some motorcycle riding as well as cycling and the gym.”
