From a wish constantly expressed since the first day of his four-year suspension due to doping, this idea of Andrea Iannone's return to competition is gradually transforming from wishful thinking to a project under construction. It must be said that in an era where promoters and other organizers are desperate to attract attention to their sport, the return of a fiery, talented and seasoned character to social life and social networks would be a godsend for their paddock. .

Unfortunately, he was at Ducati while the bike was still a little late. We achieved the first victory after so many years for the manufacturer Borgo Panigale in Austria 2016 ».
Sure, but can he run decently again? “ After four years, it's very difficult in MotoGP and very strong young pilots have arrived. I think it would be complicated ". Let's head, at best, to the WSBK where the level has also seriously risen...
