Andrea Iannone drops retirement hint unless his WorldSBK demand is met
Andrea Iannone explains his 2026 W🍷orldSBK contract wish

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Iannone could re🦹tire at the end of this year, he has claimed.
The Go Eleven Ducati rider is plotting his 2026 in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Championship.
But unless his hopes for his next contract are met, Iannone insists he m🥂ight race for the final time at the end of this season.
“The championship started very well but the last two races have been a disaster, so right now I would stop tomorrow because i♏t’s not easy,” he told GPOne.
“The level is high and with a private team it becomes more🔯 complexꦍ. We’ll see next year.
“𒀰We are in talks, and if an official manufact🌜urer comes forward, or at least something good and that makes sense, then I’d welcome it.
“Certainly I would like to fight for a world title as it’s the only 🎀achievement I lack.
“In WorldSBK it is within reach but you need to have a package that allows 💧🥀you to excel.
“To come back, ൩what I did𓆏 in 2024 and this year is fine, but then to aspire to win you need to have the top.
“If I were to find a solution I would like to continue for a couple mꦑore seওasons otherwise I’d call it a day.”
Iannone came back from a four-year ban 🌸to race in WorldSBK last year but his contract with the Ducati-backed team ends this year.
He highsided at the most📖 recent round at Most, injuring his foot, although it hasn’t stopped him from taking part in this week’s Misano testing.
The WorldSBK rider market largely depends on Toprak Razgatlioglu and Nicolo Bulega, who are bot💜h out of contract with BMW and Ducati respectiv🃏ely.
The championship🍸’s top two riders are considering moves to MotoGP.
Alvaro Bautista and Jonathan Rea are also out of contract so t🦩here could be a lot of moving p𝕴arts for the 2026 grid.
An opportunity that entic♔es Iannone to stay might crop up, then.
If not, Iannone 🎃insists he has interests outside of racing. Namely the construction industry, entertainment or catering, or a deveꦏlopmental programme for young riders.
