There's been a lot of talk in recent months about Andrea Iannone's future, to the extent that lost of rumors were going around regarding the rider from Vasto. There were initial rumors of a resounding return to the MotoGP, as well as the possibility of accepting a new Yamaha-branded challenge.
In the week leading up to the Superbike in Cremona, rumors even surfaced that Feel Racing might have wanted to offer its support to the Maniac through a tailor-made team for the 29-yera-old rider, making use of sponsors such as PATA and Prometeon. However, none of this turned out to be viable.
Andrea also had a proposal to continue his collaboration with Go Eleven, the team captained by Gianni Ramello who, about a year ago, had relaunched him after Andrea's four-year hiatus.
At the moment, there's still nothing official about his future, but all the clues seem to lead to the continuation of their adventure together, undertaken last October in Jerez. According to what has been learned, the Maniac will remain with Go Eleven next year as well, facing his second season in the World Superbike riding the Panigale V4 of the Cherasco-based team.
So the Ramello family, along with Team Manager Denis Sacchetti, played their cards right in keeping Andrea. A family-sized team that had the ability and foresight to conduct a negotiation intelligently.
