That's him done then. Iannone could have been so much more,other than another footnote on the list of talented riders who fucked up.

Bet he wishes he didnt bother with the appeal now and took the initial 18 month ban which would have seen him back mid 2021 with his Aprilia seat kept warm

Strange, horse racing jockeys are a bit famous for a bit of crack to keep the weight under control but never seem to be found out.

WorldSBK: Andrea Iannone finalising negotiations to join GoEleven Ducati

Andrea Iannone is expected to become a WorldSBK rider in 2024 with Ducati.

The former MotoGP rider has been out of action since the closing stages of the 2019 season, but with his four-year ban coming to an end, WorldSBK is likely to be his new home.

Iannone has been heavily linked with Ducati for several months, and after recent visits to Misano and Imola, the ultra-talented Italian looks set to join GoEleven Ducati

Nicolo Buelga is expected to join the factory Aruba.it Ducati team, while Danilo Petrucci and Axel Bassani are likely to stay put at Barni Ducati and Motocorsa, respectively.

Sam Lowes, currently of Moto2, is also going to be aboard Panigale V4 R machinery in 2024 after his Marc VDS team announced they would be setting up a project in WorldSBK.

That leaves GoEleven as the only realistic choice for Iannone, and with the team seemingly set on signing the Italian as a replacement for Philipp Oettl, the Superbike grid is set to have another big name join the fold.

A report from Gazzetta said this about the Iannone to GoEleven Ducati hype: "Over the weekend at Imola, Andrea met with Gianni Ramello, the team's number one to define the next season, also financially (the cost of the operation is around 400,000 euros).

"The Italian would have a Panigale V4R at his disposal which, at a technical level, at least at the start of the championship, would have the same specifications as the reference team Aruba (where Nicolo Bulega will be partnered with Alvaro Bautista) as well as the Barni (who will confirm Danilo Petrucci) and Motocorsa (Bassani)."

He's spent four years out of the game, no competitive racing in that time. Does anybody else think that the GoEleven team may have hired a famous and expensive backmarker?

He'll have had some trials. Even a big proddy bike on a trackday can give an idea.

I had 12 years off after I packed in racing.
Then started trackdays on my first GSXR1000.
Lap times not too far outside the current top 10 at club races.
Would have been higher on a race bike.

It will be interesting to see. At that level even a 1 or 2 percent drop will be very noticeable.

I hope he's up at the interesting end of the field. Tis anyone's guess,though.
Some riders can have long periods of not riding,then flick the switch on the day. I have a mate who raced on and off in the 90s,he could take a notion to race and be on the pace pretty much straight off.

One of my best pals is still racing at 62 and getting regular podiums.
We shared a van when we started in 1982.
He's had a few breaks but can still do it.
Only losing wins by racing kids 5 stone lighter. He loses on straights but gets them on corners

Bandit National champs. But he's 62.

Ianonne is still young and fit.
