MotoGP | Pernat on Iannone: “After the disqualification someone will offer him a saddle”

For Andrea Iannone, this is the last year of disqualification (received in 2019 for doping, ed.) and he could return to competition from next year. Carlo Pernat, former manager of the Vasto rider, is sure of this and, interviewed by Men on Wheels, admitted that despite his age, Iannone can still demonstrate his talent.

Carlo Pernat statements on Andrea Iannone

“Iannone is a crazy talent and four years are certainly not enough to nullify the talent. That always remains and in my opinion he has in mind to return to competition. In MotoGP, marketing has become predominant, and being a marketing man, I would take a risk on Iannone. I don't know if any team will take him or if he will win but it would be a great success from a media point of view. I think we'll see him again in a world championship, maybe not MotoGP but maybe Superbike. I believe that someone, at the end of the disqualification, will offer him a saddle, also because Andrea has always trained hard, he has never completely detached himself from the motorsport environment and if we look, he is born in 1989, he will be 35 years old next year . Ask Valentino Rossi if he can still be fast at that age. The Doctor, perhaps we have forgotten, was about to win a world championship at the age of 36"
