Iannone: I have to grit my teeth and do my best

Iannone finished fourth in Friday practice despite struggling with a shoulder injury which he picked up in testing, which is very impressive as the Ducati riders style is definitely affected by his injury.

"I had hoped to be in a better condition but instead I am having to make a big effort on this track, more than I expected. It’s not so much a question of pain, it’s more that I need too much strength, which in this moment I simply don’t have. I am not able to move my left shoulder the way I want to and so I’m losing a lot in the changes in direction, and there are a lot of them here at Mugello."

"I have to grit my teeth and do my best. As for the bike, I am quite pleased, we knew that the GP15 would be competitive here, I’m just sorry I’m not in the best condition to be able to make the best of its performance."
