Andrea Iannone Joins Baggers World Cup With Niti Racing at Mugello

The high‑profile signing underscores the new MotoGP support series’ push to grow its profile.

Overview

  • Iannone will debut for Indonesian outfit Niti Racing at Mugello, with the move announced Tuesday.
  • The FIM Harley‑Davidson Baggers World Cup runs alongside MotoGP and features six European rounds after its March opener in the US.
  • The series uses race‑prepped Harley‑Davidson touring bikes known as “baggers,” bringing big, heavy machines into close sprint races.
  • Niti Racing fields Iannone alongside Oscar Gutierrez and Dimas Ekky Pratama, expanding the grid to 10 riders after nine started the season.
  • Iannone said he has not tested the bike and returns after a quiet start to 2026 following his split with GoEleven and a shelved Cainam project.
