Iannone to forgo left shoulder operation so as not to jeopardize start of 2016 season

Andrea Iannone has opted not to have an operation on his left shoulder, which he injured in a crash during testing at Mugello in May, in order to be in a better physical condition for the start of next year's MotoGP season.

The decision was taken after lengthy consultation with Dr. Porcellini, and the rider from Vasto has preferred to go for treatment aimed at strengthening the muscles of the affected area over the next few months, with the aim of arriving at the first tests of 2016 in good shape.

The alternative for Iannone would have been surgery, with a minimum post-op rest period of three months before he can resume his training.
