Andrea Iannone expe⭕cts improved performances as partꦐ of his continuation with the Go Eleven Ducati team in the 2025 World Superbike season.

Iannone joined the Go Eleven team this year after serving a ban from motorcycle racing whichꦐ concluded at the beginning of this yeaꦿr.

It’s been a solid debut ಌWorldSBK season for the former Grand Prix rider, culminating in a maiden WorldSBK race win in Race 1 at the Aragon Round three weeks ago.

Iannone explained that continuing with Gꦕo Eไleven, a move that was announced earlier this week, comes with technical assurances, as well as improved technical support from Ducati.

“It’s good news for me and also for the team🧸,” Ianno🍰ne told WorldSBK.com.

“This was my priority, I wanted to remain in this paddock. The racing here is amaz🍌ing.

I think it’s the best choice for me for next year and we’ll try to improve things compared to this year♊. Next year, we’ll have more potential.

“My management worked to improve 𒁏🔜the level a bit. I think we gave a bit more support from Ducati.”

Im💮proved technical support, as well as Iannon🎃e’s obviously increased experience in 2025 compared to his debut campaign this year, means the Italian is expecting improved results.

“M♉y target for next year is to improve everything a little bit, 𒐪we have everything to be stronger,” he said.

“I always want to improve, always be on the podium, but it’s✃ not easy.

“My dream is to fight for t☂he first position in every race or the podium. It isn’t easy, the level is really high here.”

Thinking about this weekend’s final 2024 round in Jerez, Iannone said: “I’m confident. In Race 2 at Estoril, I enjoyed it a lot; it was unbelievab💙le, com♋pletely crazy.

“I really enjoyed, for the first time this year, the feeling with the bi♌ke like this. It was for eighth position, but we fou🎃ght for fifth.”
