Iannone spent four years with Ducati in the premier class - first with Pramac then as a factory rider - between 2013-2016 but these were the dark days for the famou𒁃s Italian manufacturer.

A switch to Suzuki was a disaster and Iannone is now remembered for failing a doping test, resulting in a four-yearౠ ban, and his life as a celebrity in Italy.

"Andrea hadꦰ the misfortune to arrive in MotoGP in 2013, the worst year for Ducati and, instead, a glorious year for MarcMarquez – with whom he had fought the Moto2 title the previous year – who won his first💦 world title in the premier class,” Marco Rigamonti told . 

“For someone like Andrea, very sure of himself, of his abilities and proud, ജit was difficult to accept. 

“Basically he is a good guy, but this character 🎃sometimes has pushed him to give more than 100% to win; In other cases, it did not allow him to make self-criticism, there♉fore to improve himself. 

“His romantic relationships, then, have perhaps worsened the situaಞtion even more: finding hiꦏmself on the covers of magazines and being recognised has done nothing but feed these characteristics. 

“The move to Suzuki, 🔯then, was a mistake, by his own admission: he left in the yꦇear in which Ducati was able to take a further step forward, refusing a bike for which he would have been the first rider, the reference point for development. 

“In addition, he moved to a team where he found a way🐈 of working that, immeജdiately, he did not like.”

Iannone had a difficult relationship with fellow factory rider 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Andrea Dovizioso. But, when Iannone left, Dovizioso secured three consecutive✤ second-place finishes.

Might Iannone’s fortune h🧔ave been different if he didn’t depart Ducati?

“It is [hard to say],” Rigamonti ꦓbelieves. “Suzuki for him was, certainly, a [problem], but 💎history is not made with ‘ifs’. 

“There 𒀰was no 🐻certainty that with Ducati he would win. There are endless variables. 

“Just think of how Dovizioso's career has changed with Iannone's ex♊it from the garage: with the arrival of Jorge Lorenzo, Dovi, seeing all the problems of his new teammate, had a great injection of🐟 self-esteem that allowed him to then reach all the victories and podiums he obtained. 

“Going from chasing your teammate to beating him every Sunday, if you add that he's a fi♓ve-time world champion, gives you a lot of confidence. But, even in this case, if Iannone had stayed, we cannot know how it would have gone."

Iannone’s🦂 ban expires in December, making him eligible for ♊a comeback in 2024. Although returning to MotoGP is surely a step too far, he could seek offers from World Superbikes.
