“Every victory is beautiful, no matter the category – said Iannone according to the Spanish outlet motosan.es – no one gives you anything in MotoGP, in Superbike or in the Baggers, everyone wants to win.”
Iannone dreams of a race among ‘legends’ maybe at Phillip Island: “These bikes are incredible – he added – we have no aerodynamics or electronics. Casey Stoner, do you want to come race here? We would have a lot of fun, I’m waiting for you. With a legend like him, maybe Valentino Rossi would come back too. I don’t think the other riders are really interested, but I propose it. A race at Phillip Island, for example.”

“Seeing how many people love me moves me more than riding a bike – concluded Iannone – a girl gave me a handmade rose and wrote me a note that made me cry. It was beautiful. I’m happy that people see me as someone who never gives up, who always finds a way to get back up and keep smiling.”
