Andrea Iannone’s sole victory in MotoGP came in 2016 with Ducati
Former MotoGP rider Andrea Iannone shared a surprising memory about his first victory with Ducati at the 2016 Austrian Grand Prix. The ‘Maniac’ of MotoGP raced in the premiere class from 2013 until the end of 2019, riding for Ducati, Suzuki, and Aprilia during his career. Starting with Pramac Ducati in 2013, he was later promoted to Ducati’s factory team in 2015. Despite being released by Ducati in 2016, he clinched his only premier class win at the 2016 Austrian Grand Prix, breaking a long victory drought for Ducati. Iannone admitted in an interview that he had spent the night before the race having sex and still managed to set the fastest warm-up time and claim victory. Subsequently, Iannone’s career saw a decline after leaving Ducati, facing struggles with Suzuki and facing a doping ban while at Aprilia.
