The MotoGP is still too far away, a mirage that Andrea Iannone will see only in a year and a half. Thought, however, is fixed to that disqualification confirmed in November 2020 when the TAS, the Court of Arbitration for Sport, of Lausanne confirmed his positivity to doping after the 2019 Malaysian Grand Prix. Getting distracted and not thinking about the track and what he considers a profound injustice is not at all easy.
Disappointments that the driver from Abruzzo does not hide and is not afraid to outsource. “It is a mourning that will remain inside forever, as well as the joys I carry with me – said in an interview with Chi magazine -. It was an unexpected thing, which hurts, because when do something you believe in since childhood you cannot see it fade away overnight, while you still have so much to accomplish. It hurts but I see the glass as half full: if I think about where I started from and where I got to, I have had so much in life. And despite everything I have never thrown myself in bed to feel sorry for myself. “
Iannone: “Difficult to explain how I am”
The bike, as unique as Belèn Rodriguez
Two wheels are a passion that Iannone loves and lives even outside the MotoGP. An affection and an endless love story that she also shared with two of her own famous ex girlfriends: Belèn Rodriguez and Giulia De Lellis. Even if it is unforgettable, just like hers 13 victories and his 35 podiums in the premier class of the World Championship, there is only the Argentine showgirl.
“I’ve only had two famous women, most were not known – admitted the former Aprilia -. And then I’d talk about relationship only with Belén, with Giulia it was only 5/6 months. From the gossip I realized that he understands what he wants to understand. It’s like when you tell a person the truth, but they only believe what they want to believe.
With the bike you create an alchemy, a harmony, the bike has a soul and I talk to it. The night before a grand prix I stayed in the pits late, few know these details. Love is not just for something human. People only know me for how I have been described, for how I am not. For me, life is like the last corner of a grand prix where you are second and you push the throttle to finish first, at the risk of screwing everything up.“.
