His fo꧂ur-year doping ban will end in time to return in 2024 and Iannone is expected to join WorldSBK squad GoEleven Ducati.

That move will fi🍸nally allow Iannone to address a 🃏mistake made seven years ago.

“With the mentality I have today, I would do many things differently,” he tꦏold . 

“﷽I wouꦫld not have left Ducati. I had options: I chose one and not the other, but I left my heart at Ducati.”

Iannone won his only MotoGP race in 2016 in Austria,🎃 breaking a six-year winless run for Ducati, but was dropped by the Italian 💦manufacturer at the end of that year in favour of Jorge Lorenzo.

Iannone clattered into his teammate Andrea Dovizioso, wiping them both out from ꦰsecond and third in A🌜rgentina, in a notorious moment which sealed his fate.

Now, he i𝓡s negotiating t𝔉o return to Ducati in WSBK.

“For now, keep your mouth shut𝓀. We are working, thinking about the 💛near future, which is close enough,” he said. 

“In fact, the disqualification is almost over💖, the finish line is now in sight.

“They'll give me my licence back in November!

“There are contacts, nego🌠tiations, we are talking... 

“And I am happy that there is still i🌌nterest in me, it makes me proud and happ🌄y. 

“Where, how and when, whether in Superbik🙈e or MotoGP, it's stil🔯l early to say, but we've always worked to come back over the years." 

He said about his four-year doping ban: “I've certai💖nly lost a lot in recent years, but the important thing was to react positively. I think I lived it in a dignified way.

“I▨ don't believe in revenge, I never liked it. 

“Of course, I would likeꦰ to recover many happy moments, but in recent years I have always felt free, never trapped. 

“I'm fine now, let's think about 2024. It won't be easy because the level is very high in Superbike and MotoGP, but what I like is that I feel the wil🐟l to put myself on the line, to sacrifice myself, because being a💮 rider is also a life of sacrifices.

“I hope to be able to go back to doing what I love: riding the bike at 30🃏0km/h, as hard as possible, feeling that lightness there. It🧸's my life.”
