A special birthday, celebrated for the occasion on the track. Yesterday Andrea Iannone blew out 35 candles and his team wanted to celebrate this milestone with a surprise party, staged on Friday evening at the end of FP2 in Portimao.
In the Go Eleven team hospitality, thanks to the direction of Luciana Fornasieri, wife of owner Gianni Ramello, a long table was set up. Andrea sat in the center and at his side all his team with dad Regalino and partner Elodie.
For The Maniac as many as two cakes, photos, good wishes, songs and hugs. On Andrea's part, there was no lack of emotion for the much warmth received from those who accompany him in this adventure in Superbike: "I thank you guys, thank you all, really - he said - I am happy to celebrate here together with you this my birthday. I also thank you for this season and what I'm doing, let's enjoy this moment."
Today it's back on track with Superpole and Race 1, the latter scheduled for tonight at 7 p.m.
