Andrea Iannone 𝔍“deserves” a return to MotoGP, insists his WorldSBK boss.

The Italian rider came back from a four-year doping ban this ওseason toꦡ join Go Eleven Ducati in WSBK.

His impressive early perfo🐲rmances have already created🦩 a furore over his next step - which might be back into MotoGP.

“I think he’s a ꦬtop rider,” saiඣd Denis Sacchetti, the Go Eleven team manager.

“Andrea is a really talented rider and I think he deserves to stay in WorldSBK with🐼 an official package and deserves also to ride in MotoGP.

“I think he can also have options in MotoGP.

“I think🌠, at the moment, he has to decide what he wants for his career.

“There’s an option to stay in the team. It’s a one-year contrac🐼t with an option for a second year.

“He has to decide whethe𓆏r to accept the option or not. It depends on what he wܫants to do.

“If he wants to stay with us, we’d be rꦬeally happy, because I think we can fight for really good results even if we’re a private team; we’re a private team with good support from Ducati.

“ꦇI think we are competitive enough t𒀰o fight for the podium at every race. I don’t know.

“His future doesn’t depend on us but on him and Ducati and maybe other manufacturers that have much more po🦹wer than us!”

Iannone said about his own 2025 plans: “Every day, we have something n﷽ew because every day something changes.

“It’s noꦅr෴mal and not only for me. I want to focus on the Championship.

“After Misano, I’ll start to decide my future. First of all, it’s important to decide whether I remain in WorldSBK🐟 or not.”

Iannone is riding an Independent Panigale 🎉V4 R this s꧑eason.

Sho🌳uld Alvaro Bautista opt to retire, then space would open up in thওe Aruba.it Ducati team alongside Nicolo Bulega.
