Andrea Iannone has lifted a boulder off his shoulders

First success in Sbk for Iannone, who hasn’t won since MotoGp

Eight years after the last time (it happened at the Red Bull Ring, in the 2016 MotoGp Grand Prix d'Austria), Andrea Iannone è returned to relish the joy of success, imposing himself in Race-1 at Motorland Aragon and thus conquering his first career success in World Superbike.

The Abruzzese rider of the GoEleven team placed his Ducati Panigale V4R ahead of the BMWs of Toprak Razgatlioglu, returning from injury, and Garrett Gerloff. It had been exactly 2,967 days since Iannone felt the joy of victory, an emotion that he was unable to hide after the race.

"It's beautiful,‖ he commented.

I came back to have this feeling and it è always special. Today è a little bit’ different since it è came after a long, long time. It's really special. I went through really difficult times but in the end the dream always lived inside me. I finally decided to come back. This year I had to recover a lot since after a long time è everything was difficult. Today we are here and we are really happy".

" Today I didn’t just win the race, I won the race of my life,” he added, “I showed that I am a strong man. I won the race, I am happy, è it was a good race but è different than MotoGp. It's all different. Today I won a really important race" reiterated Iannone.
