Andrea Iannone

Andrea Iannone's return is the series finally launched from Italy, an intention displayed by the lively transalpine which turns into a claim. Because he no longer misses an opportunity to remind us that in 2024, he will be able to make his return to the track. He will in fact have served his four-year suspension due to doping on December 17. But at 35 years old, and after so many missed seasons during which a new generation has asserted itself, it's a safe bet that he will not collapse under the demands. However, he finds in his former manager Carlo Pernat, with whom he has mended things, a sounding board which allows him to maintain hope...   

Andrea Iannone will he be the Phoenix who is reborn from the ashes of this next world? We cannot yet comment on this question but for several days he has been working to make possible what would be a resounding resurrection. His speech is intended to be clear, and we can read it on La Gazzetta dello Sport: “ I'll be back. I don't know where, how and when, if it will be in MotoGP or Superbike, but I guarantee it : I still can't fill my life with anything other than motorcycles or speed ».

He adds : " dancing with the stars was like a diversion and I'm spoiled for choice for everything that is offered to me as a show. If I get offers from TV it's because people are interested in me, but I guarantee you that I'm focused on one thing: to get back on the bike and I will ". And he ends: “ I maintained relations with Aprilia, my former manager Carlo Pernat and Pramac boss Paolo Campinoti, who are like family, but races are for winning, not for real friendships ».

Carlo Pernat: “ Andrea Iannone turns 35 next year and Valentino Rossi was about to win a title at the age of 36« 

Given its sulphurous past, Andrea Iannone is it credible and reliable? It's there that Charles Pernat intervenes. The man who declared that Joe the Maniac had been the biggest disappointment of his managerial career, when his suspension was pronounced, is now dressing him up in all the trappings to make him attractive and attractive to a team. And the manager does not hesitate to make a quality the great fault which ended up swallowing him up as a driver…

We read thus on Motograndprix.it : " Iannone is crazy talented and certainly four years is not enough to nullify the talent. This still remains and in my opinion he has in mind to return to competition ". Then he specifies: “ in MotoGP, marketing has become predominant, and being a marketing man, I would take a risk on Iannone. I don't know if any team will take him or if he will win but it would be a big success from a media point of view ».

« I think we will see him again in a world championship, maybe not in MotoGP but maybe in Superbike. I believe that someone, at the end of his suspension, will offer him a saddle, also because Andrea has always trained hard, he has never completely detached himself from the world of motorcycle sport and if we look, he was born in 1989. He will be 35 years old in 2024. Ask Valentino Rossi if you can still be fast at 35. The Doctor, we may have forgotten, was on the verge of winning a world championship at the age of 36 ". All arguments will therefore be good to find a handlebar.
