Headache for Ducati as a rival manufacturer lurks to sign Andrea Iannone
Andrea Iannone's impressive comebac🔯k has𒉰 impressed Ducati's competitors

BMW are reportedly in the mix to poach 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Iannone next year.
His future﷽ iওn World Superbikes depends on whether Alvaro Bautista chooses to race on.
The WSBK champion Bautista is now 39 years old and 🔯could retire rather than compete next season.
If he does opt out, his factory Ducati seat will be allo൩cated to Iannone, report.
There is an op꧒tion in the contract for Iannone to remain with Go Eleven Ducat﷽i next year too.
But, should Bautista stayꦜ, Iannone will receive interest fಌrom rival manufacturers.
BMW are 🅘at theꦍ front of the queue for his services.
Michael Van Der🧔 Mark’s contract with BMW expires this year, so Iannone could replace him.
The arrival at BMW thiไs season of Toprak Razgatlioglu, plus the test team comprising of Sylvain Guintoli and Bradley Smith, proves that the German brand means business.
Ducati are therefore presented with a potential problem: keeping e🧔ither Bautista or Iannone in their ranks next year, but both might be unachievable.
A solution might be allowing Iannone to test the Ducati MotoGP bike. He has told Italian n𝓰ews𝕴paper La Gazzetta dello Sport that he wouldn't rule out being given that opportunity this year.
Last season, Bautista raced♑ in t♕he Malaysian MotoGP as a wildcard.
Offering Iannone the opportunity to return to MotoGP machinery - even if not in a race - could te🌠mpt him to ignore BMW’s advances.
The great relationship between Iannone and Gigi Dall’Igna makes it very pl⛎ausible ꦑthat he would want to stay.
Ianno♛ne returned to professional motorcycle🌸 racing this year after a four-year doping ban.
He was given a WSBK Ducati bike, after repr🦋esenting the manufacturer in MotoG⛄P.
Iannone has been one of the bright spar🃏ks of the opening two rounds of the 2024 season.
He🐽 has already claimed two podium ♏finishes to offer a reminder of the talent that was on the shelf for four years.
