“It’s possible that I come here” - Andrea Iannone drops biggest WorldSBK hint yet

Iannone, who is a former MotoGP rider with Ducati, Su♊zuki and Aprilia, is hoping to make his competitive return to motorcycle racing in 2024 following a four-year ban for breaking an anti-doping rule.
Always classified a🔯s one of the biggest talents in MotoGP, Iannone could still generate a lot of interest in WorldSBK as Ducati and Yamaha have been linked with the Itali🐓an.

- Jonathan Rea: Bautista “so far ahead, we’re not improving as ✤💟much as we should"
Although it’s unlikely he will be an option for their factoဣry teams, seats at✨ Barni and GoEleven Ducati, but also GRT and GMT94 Yamaha could open up for Iannone.
Speak𝓀ing at the recent Misano WorldSBK round, which w🎉as again dominated by reigning WorldSBK champion Alvaro Bautista, Iannone told about his hoped of making a return to racing.
The Italian said: "The level of WorldSBK has grown a lot꧙ and I find it a very interesting championship!
"The air is light in the paddock and I b𝓀reathed a lot of passion and a lot of sport inside. Alvaro has always been a great World Champion.”
"I think that the form of Alvaro and Ducati is an incre𒁏dible combination right now.
"It's true that I tried the road version of th𝔍e Ducati Panigale V4 R at Misano and I re𒅌ally liked it. Being able to race in WorldSBK in 2024 would be very nice. We'll see!"
Aprilia stood by Iannone throughout his anti-doping appeal and remained keen on seeing the Italian stay with the♒ team in some cap⭕acity.
But with the Italian manufacturer nဣot racing in WorldSBK currently, Iannone would need to join another brand to keep his career alive, should he switch to Superbike of course.
"Wor⭕ldSBK is really amazing, everybody is close and it’s exciting," continued Iannone. "It’s a really strong fig🐟ht between Ducati and Yamaha.
"In any ca💎se, I look to the future. Maybe one da♒y, it’s possible that I come back here!"
