Andrea Iann🔯one made a successful return to racing in 2024, claiming multiple podium finishes and even a race win in his debu🐓t WorldSBK campaign.

Iannone ended his season a few weeks after the rest of the WorldSBK field at the Malaysian Grand Prix, replacing Fabio Di Giannantonio in the VR46 D💧ucati team.

“I’m really luck💯y because I meet one more time the MotoGP bike, and it was really good, a fantastic emotion, so it was a really good experience and a good time in Malaysia,” Ian🔯none told WorldSBK.com at the recent EICMA show in Milan.

While Iannone was impressive at times in his MotoGP wildcard, though, his performances in WorldSBK arguably sto🌳od out more.

In his first year racing since 2019, Iannone was on the podium at the first two rounds in Australia and Catalunya, and later ꦏin the season won Race 1 in A𓆏ragon.

“For sure I think we made a really great year in 2024, always race-by-race I think we improve a little bit and we♍ arrive in Jerez with an incredible fight in Race 2,” Iannone said, before quickly turning his attention to 2025.

“I think for the first year 🔯in World Superbike 🧸it’s not possible to ask for more than this, and for sure for next year the ambition is more.

“From my side, I work thisܫ winter 100 per cent for improve what I understand, what I learn during thai year; I will try to arrive at 110 per cent from Phillip Island. But, for sure the team needs to improve a lot, for decide how we manage the race we need to improve.”

He added: “We, I think, will start [testing] in January. I hope everything will start well, I hope that 2025 for us is a good year and we improve in every area — this is ꦍthe goal, this is the target.”
