In preparation for the start of the 2015 MotoGP season, Sport Rider is taking a closer look at a few of the top riders from pre-season testing, plus a MotoGP rookie following in Casey Stoner’s footsteps.
Andrea Iannone earned a spot on that list of top riders by turning the quickest lap time on the first day of the Qatar pre-season test, and then backing that time up with the third-quickest time on day two of the test. The 29-year-old Italian is a former Pramac Racing Ducati rider (and actually rode a factory-spec Ducati in 2014) who was bumped up to the official Ducati Team alongside Andrea Dovizioso for 2015. Scroll through the gallery above to check out all the photos from Sepang and Qatar, and to read about Iannone's thoughts on the new GP15.
Tomorrow we will take a look at Marc Marquez's pre-season test program. Stay tuned.
