Andrea Iannone’s 2024 return to racing has, generally speaking, been🔯 successful, but the Italian is looking𒊎 to take a step forward in 2025.

Although Iannone has secured multi♈ple podium finish🀅es in 2024 with the Go Eleven Ducati team, he has not yet won a race.

To do so in 2025, Iannone believes he needs something additional on t😼he technical side of his programme.

Iannone’s desire for better equipment than what he currently has has complicaജted his 2025 contract negotiat﷽ions.

“I tꦇhink the situation is not easy,” Iannone told WoꦰrldSBK.com. “It’s really complicated because I have a really clear thought for what I need next year.

“I need something more than what I have now. Everything needs to be one step more. We will see, I don’t know. I have something on the table but it’s difficult to decide. I’m nꦑot sure if I leave Team GoEleven or stay. It’s difficult to decide. I try for my best outside of the track for making the best for next year. In case I get what I need, I’ll stay in WorldSBK. In case I don’t, maybe I’ll stay at home.”

The uncertainty f😼or𓂃 Iannone spreads to his team, for which the Italian is seemingly its first choice of rider for 2025.

“This is the question everyone would like an answඣer to…🎉 me too,” said Denis Sacchetti, Go Eleven Ducati team manager.

“I still d༒on’t know what our future will be with the line-up. Andrea [Iannone] hasn’t made a decision yet about his future.

“We’re sp💫eaking with him, and we want to keep him free to decide about his future.

“This weekend, I hope will be a crucial weekend for us and the team. I hope to be ableꦉ to say something as soon as possible.”

While things off🌠-track are uncertain for the Go Eleven team and for Iannone, on-track in Cremona things were clearly positive on Friday at the Italian Round, Iannone finishing the day in fifth place.

“It wasn’t so bad,✅” Iannone said of his Friday🌼 at Cremona. “We started at a track that I know. The last three or four tracks, I struggled a little bit, because they were all new for me.

“When I a🃏rrive like this, without references, it’ওs a little bit difficult.

“We started well and the feeling isn’t bad. We need to improve some things. We struggled a littl🅺e bit today on the electronics side.

“In any case๊, we have a clear 🍃idea where we need to improve for tomorrow.

“It’s not only🐽 this thing, but we also need to adjust the bike a little bit at that point, and we try t🙈o improve every area a little bit.”
