The saga of ♊Andrea Iannone’s 2025 WorldSBK contract negotiations continue this weekend in Estoril, the penultimate round of the 2024 World Superbike Cham🎀pionship.

Iannone’s future remains uncertain. Despite ap🍸parent desire from ไthe Go Eleven Ducati team to continue the partnership between themselves and Iannone which began this year, Iannone himself has maintained throughout this season that he wants a factory-spec bike for 2025.

Such have been the delays, Iannone even suggested he won’t be able to✱ make the post-race test after next week’s season-closing Jerez Round when speaking to WorldSBK.cꦺom ahead of this weekend’s Estoril Round.

“I don’t know if we’ll make the test, because, honestly, we haven’t signed anyt⭕hing at th🐽e moment for the future,” the Italian said.

“We’ll sign in a few days, a few weeks… it’s a surprise for everybody! I th𝐆ink my season will start in January.”

While Iannone arrives in Estoril still unsure of his future, he also goes to Portugal off the back of his first WorldSBK win, achieved in Arag🥂on two weeks ago.

“Unfortunately, we only won on Saturday; we lost some performance on Sunday at Ar📖agon,” Iannone told WorldSBK.com ahead of this weekend🐷’s Estoril World Superbike round.

“In any case, we did a good job. We achieved many podiums, we won a race in my first year but, when I think of this, I want and needℱ more!

“We have to be realistic. I never thought I’d fight for the first Independent rider, it was an optimistic idea because Daಞnilo [Petrucci] has more experience than me.”
