Andrea Iannone and Team Pata GoEleven will not continue together for the 2026 World Superbike Championship.
At the Hungarian World Superbike Round, it was revealed that Andrea Iannone and Team Pata GoEleven will likely part ways at the end of 2025.
After two seasons together Denis Sacchetti, the Team Manager at Team Pata GoEleven admitted that they are 'looking at alternative' riders for the 2026 season.
"What Andrea will do next year, I don't know," Sacchetti told GPOne.com.
"In my opinion, I think it's difficult to continue together with GoEleven.
"Unfortunately, this season has been hindered by some mistakes, falls, and penalties, but now we have to think about doing well and having a good championship finish, enjoying what we can achieve, since our team is united and strong.
"Also, we're lucky to have one of the most competitive bikes on the grid, which allows us to do well."
Saccheti was asked about the teams goals at the start of the season, in which he expressed his desire of featuring on the podium every weekend like Danilo Petrucci and the Barni Spark Racing Team.
"Our potential was to aim for the podium in all the races, like Petrucci," he explained.
"Obviously, Bulega and Toprak were on another level, but we could have been right behind. The fact is that we did not take advantage of what we had."
Despite not mentioning any names, he did admit that the team are actively looking at alternative riders for 2026.
There have been multiple names linked to the now vacant Ducati Panigale V4 R, with the likes of Alvaro Bautista, Jonathan Rea, Dominique Aegerter and Alessandro Delbianco all being mentioned.
"Going back to the market, I think after two years together our time with Andrea has come to an end," he admitted.
"We are looking at alternatives for 2026. We certainly shared a good adventure, and we are happy about that."
