Andrea Iannone is officially a driver suspended until June 2021 due to a sanction imposed for a positive doping test. That being said, he has arguments to put forward on appeal to lift this sentence, which has serious consequences for his career. He has the support of his current employer Aprilia in the event, but he also has all the interest of a Ducati manufacturer whom he says he regrets having left in the past. Will Joe the Maniac with his sulphurous private life commit infidelity there too? His manager Carlo Pernat responds…
Andrea Iannone is in the test. Which seems to open his mind towards fundamental values while his life displayed on social networks until then seemed to favor superficiality. He speaks today of humility, he says he is finally decoding the messages of a father full of wisdom. An approach that awakened DucatiMore Iannone remains an official Aprilia.
Charles Pernat, which manages Joe the Maniac, does not damage the new image of its pilot. But in doing so, it obstructs the possible exit to Ducati for a lasting installation at Aprilia… “ The idea that he could return to Pramac Ducati is not heresy » he says on GP One. " Theoretically, it is feasible. Iannone's contract expires at the end of 2020, still considering it possible to run. He is very close to Paolo Campinoti, the owner of Pramac, with whom he has a deep mutual respect. If he puts the idea of earning a lot of money out of his mind, he might accept the idea of going to Pramac on an official motorcycle, which would reduce his salary a lot.. I'm talking about a figure around 500 euros.

« He was wrong to leave when Ducati chose him before Dovizioso and he only did it for money. » But then, where is Aprilia in this debate? Feathered reassures: “ however, there is one parameter to consider. Aprilia did very well with Iannone during this difficult moment linked to the suspension. He was assisted by a lawyer who practically proved his innocence even though they convicted him. But I'm sure they'll acquit him later, so I thinkAndrea owes a debt of gratitude, a recognition and he is very faithful from this point of view. So I predict that he will stay with Aprilia, I am very convinced of it »
He finishes : " Aprilia presented a bike that seems to be going very well, so I think it's easy for Iannone to stay where he is now. If the bike were to go very fast, that would mean becoming the standard bearer for a house like Aprilia and that wouldn't be bad at all. » Here is his teammate Alex Espargaró warned all the more that Charles Pernat precise… " Iannone has a fairly strong character and very strong tensions are created in the stands. Very strong. " Here is Massimo Rivola which is put to the perfume, especially since Aleix is not bad in the genre either…
