Ecstar Suzuki’s Andrea Iannone says he is looking for some sort of redemption at this weekend’s Argentine MotoGP round after crashing out of a podium spot in Qatar ten days ago.

Iannone was shocked at the pace he was able to conjure from the GSX-RR given the trouble he had getting feeling from the front end but he tagged the back of Marc Marquez in the Doha race and, as always, the rear beats the front.

“I don´t want to hide that I want to redeem myself after the disappointment in Qatar. I think Argentina can be a favourable track for us and I like it very much. It’s technical and fast, and I like this. I hope the track conditions will be good. Usually it has a lot of dirt and takes some time to develop a good grip. I hope this year it will be better,” he said.

Rins, meanwhile, has been for a checkup in the ankle he injured in a motocross crash and is flying to the Termas De Rio Hondo track in order to try and race.

“My first race in Qatar had been a very exciting experience and honestly left with me the feeling that it all went too fast and was too short. I can’t wait to experience again all the emotion of MotoGP. The Argentinian circuit is one I like,” said Rins.

“I believe I will really enjoy the acceleration with the GSX-RR and I’m expecting the straight to seem to be a lot shorter compared to last year’s Moto2. I had this injury while training last week. It’s not a bad injury but will require some time to recover. I really hope it won’t bother me too much with the pain, as I’m excited to continue learning in this class with my Suzuki.”
