This year, Andrea Iannone returned to the tracks after four years of suspension due to a doping case. At the time it all happened, he was a rider for Aprilia, but had previously been with other teams – including Pramac Racing.
As it is known, Paolo Campinoti’s team has no confirmed riders for 2025. Jorge Martín wants to move to a factory team, while Franco Morbidelli will have to prove his worth to deserve to stay in the other seat.
What is also unknown is which manufacturer will be a partner of Pramac. The renewal with Ducati is a strong possibility, but there are also rumors of approaches from KTM and Yamaha – in the case of the Iwata manufacturer, it is the only one currently without a satellite team.
According to Sky Sport Italia, with either manufacturer, Iannone could be in the plans for Pramac. The rider has good relations with Campinoti and also with Ducati, which helped facilitate his return to action in the 2024 Superbike World Championship.
But with Yamaha, Pramac could have a considerable discount on the supply of bikes and potentially have at least one of their riders paid, in addition to obtaining technicians from the manufacturer. And Iannone would again be a possibility in this viable scenario – also according to Sky Sport Italia.
While in MotoGP, Iannone rode for Pramac in 2013 and 2014, making the natural transition to Ducati where he competed between 2014 and 2016 before spending two seasons at Suzuki. In 2019, he moved to Aprilia, but the doping case prematurely separated him from the team and MotoGP.
