“I've🥃 been waiting for this moment for a long time, I'♑m finally back on track, where I spent my life,” said Iannone.
“I thank Gigi Dall'Igna, Paolo Ciabatti, Claudio Domenicali, Marco Zambenedetti and the whole Go Eleven team for their trust, with their support I have rediscovered the enthusiasm I had as a child. Spec🌊ial thanks also to the WorldSBK family for the opportunity. I'm fully excited."
What Iannone’s addition to WorldSBK doᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚes is make Ducati even stronger as they head into the 2024 campaign with Alvaro Bautista, Nicolo Bulega, Danilo Petrucci and Sam Lowes all under contract.

“We have worked hard to make this dream real, we have wanted to shout it out to the world for some time now, but creating such ꧅an important project is not easy and must be structured 🍃carefully,” said Team Manager Denis Sacchetti.
“The Maniac has decided 🔯to get back into the game, it's not for everyone, it takes guts after everything that has happened and so much time away fr💛om racing.
“It is a cou𒁏rageous ch♉oice, for some it may seem crazy, but the right dose of madness and courage can lead to great feats.
“Why this bet? When we started talking to him, we were impressed by his determination, grit and desire to go back doing what he loves, I saw in his eyes the desire and need to race a motorbike, like a child who wants to go back playing and everything that happens around him is out of hisꦦ mind, because he just wants to go back playing, he has no othe𒐪r thoughts at that moment.
“We know that it won't be easy, that at the beginning we will have to suffer and work a lot and har🎉d, but this 𒈔awareness unites us even more and stimulates us further.
“I want to thank Gianni Ramello for immediately accepting this opportunity, a particular thank you also goes to Paolo Ciabatti, Gigi Dall'Igna, Claudio Domenicali and Marco Zambenedetti for the support they are giving to this project and🌺 obviously thanks to Andrea Iannone for the trust in our team!
