‘Andrea Iannone had the the balls to say yes; it’s exposing yourself to something traumatic’ – Carlo Pernat

Andrea Iannone will compete in the MotoGP Malaysian GP next weekend. Reactions have been multiplying, and Carlo Pernat also shared his opinion.

 

The riders’ manager highlighted the courage of the rider, stating to MOW Mag: ‘We have to thank Ducati and, once again, Valentino Rossi. If he wasn’t thinking about this, who would be? Nice move. And then, we also have to thank Andrea, who had the balls to say yes. Look, it really takes big ones because after five years, without testing and not even sitting on the bike for fun, going to a MotoGP bike exposes you to something that can also be traumatic’.

In any case, Pernat is happy for Iannone, who has gone through difficult times in recent years due to a suspension following a positive anti-doping test:

– I’m really happy for him: that guy has been through hell. I think those who don’t know the riders well, their way of thinking, and the motivation they have inside, cannot even remotely imagine how much suffering Andrea has had to deal with in recent years. Taking away his bikes and the possibility to compete during all that time was inhumane. Returning, even if just as a substitute, but precisely in Sepang and on a bike from Valentino Rossi, I’m not saying it’s revenge, because nothing will be real revenge, but it’s a great message about the importance of positive rebellion: the kind that doesn’t generate defeat but a future.
