Andrea Iannone made a triumphant comeback to the MotoGP circuit at the most recent race in Misano, lending his considerable weight of support to the Aprilia Racing team in the process.

A banned chemical was discovered in the Italian system during the final stages of the 2019 MotoGP season in Sepang. As a result, he is presently serving a four-year suspension from any motorcycle competition.

However, after an appeal, WADA responded with a counter-measure that resulted in CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport) imposing an unprecedented four-year suspension on him, which would have ended in July 2021.

Even though his MotoGP career is over owing to a doping punishment that will expire in 2023, Andrea Iannone has transitioned to becoming more of an Instagram influencer. Uploading several pictures of himself in different stages of nakedness and even taking part in the odd track day.

Given his continued association with Aprilia, the team competed at his suspension. Instead, however, the Spaniard was at Misano to offer his support for the firm during a year in which it has made tremendous advances ahead, including Aleix Espargaro's podium performance at Silverstone and the signing of eight-time champion Maverick Vinales.

Despite being disappointed that he could not contribute to the company's success, Iannone expresses his joy at the company's recent resurgence.

The team is enjoying themselves after the terrible period they went through, which was partially due to the challenge of returning to MotoGP, and partly due to my tale, they are having a good time."
