Andrea Iannone is in the spotlight with new rumors of joining BMW in MotoGP. The Italian rider has been showing his quality in WSBK after a four-year break from competitions.
In addition to the potential for Andrea Iannone to move to MotoGP with BMW, the German brand has its rider Michael Van Der Mark’s contract ending at the end of the year. Ducati also has to deal with its star, Álvaro Bautista, whose contract ends this year and has not yet confirmed if he will retire from racing or continue for another year.
However, if Iannone stays in the current WSBK team, Go Eleven Ducati, there is a high probability of the opportunity for the Italian rider to try a MotoGP bike. It is worth noting that Iannone’s relationship with Gigi Dall’Igna has always been very positive, which could influence this decision.
Álvaro Bautista’s decision could also be crucial for the rider market. A spot in a factory team will surely create opportunities for riders to stand out or for those who are already standing out, like Andrea Iannone, to continue their good form and demonstrate their full potential with an official bike.
