Andrea Iannone will remain with the GoEleven Ducati outfit for the 2025 WorldSBK campaign.
The Italian rider continues in the series for a second year after being given a career-reviving opportunity following a four-year ban due to an anti-doping violation.
Iannone has enjoyed a successful first year in WorldSBK, securing a victory at Aragon and achieving five podium finishes.
The 35-year-old currently sits seventh in the championship ahead of the final round at Jerez and is the second-highest-ranked rider representing an independent team in the standings.
“I am happy to continue this journey with the Pata GoEleven Team riding the Ducati Panigale V4 R,” said Iannone.
“The first year in the WorldSBK Championship was full of surprises and satisfactions, we will continue to work together to constantly improve and reach new goals.
“I thank Gigi Dall’Igna, Claudio Domenicali, Paolo Ciabatti, Marco Zambenedetti, Mauro Grassilli and the whole Pata GoEleven Team for the renewed trust. A special thanks also to Remo Gobbi and the WorldSBK family.”
GoEleven’s Team Owner Gianni Ramello stated: “Keeping continuity to the project with Andrea Iannone, it means a lot to all our team, I was particularly keen on it because I am convinced that, with the experience gained in 2024, we could have a lot of data in each race and start with a solid base.
“We are following up on a choice made at the end of 2023, a choice outside the box, but which still proved to be a winning one, giving us great satisfaction and podiums.
“I also want to welcome Pata, who chose to believe in GoEleven and Andrea’s project, allowing us to make a further step forward, joining the support of all our partners and sponsors.
“A specific mention for Andrea, a rider and man with whom a special relationship was born, different from many others, I didn’t know him but after a few races he entered my heart, not only for the talent he showed, but also as a person.
“Knowing that we will go on together in 2025, it fills me with great enthusiasm, and we are ready to fight for the important positions in 2025!”
