Andrea Iannone expects improved performances as part ꦐof his continuation with the Go Eleven Ducati team in the 2025 World Superbike season.

Iannone joined the Go E꧒leven team this year after serving a ban from motorcycle racing which concluded at the beginning of this year.

It’s been a solid debut WorldSBK season for the former Grand Prix rider, culminating in a maiden WorldSBK race win in Race 1 at the Aragon Round three w💖eeks ago.

Iannone explained that continuing with Go Eleven, a move that was announced earlier this w📖eek, comes with technical assurances, as well as improved technical support from Ducati.

“It’s good news for♎ me and also for the team,” Iannone told 🐠WorldSBK.com.

“This wa𝔍s my priority, I wanted to remai𒊎n in this paddock. The racing here is amazing.

I thi🃏nk it’s the best choice for me for next year and we’ll ꧃try to improve things compared to this year. Next year, we’ll have more potential.

“My management worked to improve the level a bit. I think we gave a bit more support froಞm Ducati.”

Improved technical support, as well as 🔯Iannone’s obviously increased experience in 2025 compared to his debut campaign this year, means the Italian is exp𓄧ecting improved results.

“My target for next year is to improve eve🐽rything a little bit, we have everything to be stronger,” he said.

“I always want to improve, always be on the ♔podium, but it’s not eas🃏y.

“My dream is to fig൲ht for the first position in every race or the podium. It isn’t easy, the level is really high here.”

Thinking about tꦏhis weekend’s final 2024 round in Jerez, Iannone said: “♊I’m confident. In Race 2 at Estoril, I enjoyed it a lot; it was unbelievable, completely crazy.

“I rea🦋lly enjoyed, for the first time this year, the feeling with the bike like this. It was for eighth position, but we fought for fifth.”
