Andrea Iannone

Andrea Iannone will have the opportunity to return to competition next year since her suspension for doping will end at the end of this year. And it is his dearest and craziest wish. Because finding a place in a paddock after four years of absence will be anything but simple. Showing up on the track with your Aprilia RSV4 and suggesting that it has lost none of its speed will probably not be enough. Joe the Maniac will also need a good dose of luck and to fully exploit his address book. Still, he can already forget to open it at the letter D like Ducati. Because Davide Tardozzi sent him this message…

An indication given in an interview with Moto.it, spotted by Todocircuito, in which the subject Iannone was discussed, since we saw the Italian riding a Panigale V4S with the test driver of the Borgo Panigale brand, Michele Pirro. But Davide Tardozzi doesn’t want any misunderstanding about this private expedition to Misano…” Andrea tries to show everyone that he is still very fast. We don't know how it drives, but he has always had an excellent relationship with Ducati ».

The team manager of the official team Ducati adds: " maybe Aprilia will give him a chance, he finished his previous career there and I wish him good luck. He is certainly a talent and he has character, I would like Iannone to continue racing, but I don't know what the opportunities will be ". Then he is firm: “ with us at the moment there is absolutely nothing for him ».

Davide Tardozzi: “ I spoke with Andrea Iannone, and he is aiming for Superbike »

Tardozzi continues: " it's clear that there is no place for him in MotoGP ", but his return to competition could well materialize with the Superbike World Championship, which the same Tardozzi anticipates: “ I spoke with him and he is aiming for Superbike. WSBK is also very competitive and he could fight for the top places there, he is very competitive ». Most Aprilia is not entered in the championship reserved for motorcycles from the series…

So nothing will be simple for Iannone, and first of all for this reason recalled by Davide Tardozzi as a conclusion : " he has to show someone that he is still very fast. The problem at the moment is Andrea's, not ours ».
