Though far from the racetracks due to his ban, Andrea Iannone still manages to get people talking. And recently, it’s not only his new Lugan-based bar "Passion" that is making the news, but also, and perhaps particularly, Andrea’s private life, always fodder for the tabloids.

From Belen to Umberto Tozzi’s daugher Natasha, the Italian has been linked to a number of women since splitting with Giulia De Lellis. The latest is Carmen Victoria Rodriguez, a Venezuelan model who is good friends with Valentino Rossi’s girlfriend, Francesca Sofia Novello.

Venting on Instagram

A situation that has become unbearable for Iannone, who vents in a story on his Instagram account. "Everything has a limit, even fantasy... Enough of these pseudo-girlfriends of mine. I’m single, I hope that’s clear!” writes Andrea.

A message that leaves no room for interpretation and that puts an end to his presumed relationship with the “new” Rodriguez. But we’re sure it won’t be enough to prevent future rumours about the former MotoGP rider’s love life.
