A dream debut
Debut with victory for Nicolò Bulega – like Alvaro Bautista, Max Biaggi and Davide Tardozzi – 'first' with podium for Andrea Iannone. The rider from Abruzzo, after serving a four-year disqualification for testing positive for an anabolic steroid in a test dating back to 2019, returned to racing today on the Go Eleven team's Ducati Panigale V4R in the Superbike World Championship and took full advantage of the field factor'.
The rider from Vasto is in Australia on the Phillip Island circuit He's always been very strong – he reached the podium in MotoGP with Ducati (third in 2015) and with Suzuki (second in 2019) – and today was no exception. In Superpole Iannone achieved the second fastest time overall behind Bulega (who set the new track record) and in Race-1 he was always among the protagonists, finishing on the third step of the podium, a top-3 that could also have been a place of honor if he hadn't made a mistake in the last km when braking, a long one that opened the doors of second place to Andrea Locatelli.
Iannone's partner, the singer Elodieaccompanied 'The Maniac' on the trip to Australia and he celebrated like this on Instagram third place for the centaur from Abruzzo: “Proud of this wonderful return. You knew how to wait patiently for love and dignity. Thank you for the example you are, thank you for the sweetness, strength and beauty of your eyes that are never tired of life. You are my good man, handsome and crazy as a horse. Fuck if I love you”. Iannone's social response didn't take long to arrive in stories he wrote “thanks to you love”.
