Moto GP: Aussie Jack Miller has narrowly missed out on a podium finish in Thailand.

Former MotoGP race-winner Andrea Iannone will make a surprise one-off comeback to the world championship for this weekend’s penultimate round of the season in Malaysia , the 35-year-old Italian gifted a one-race return by legendary compatriot Valentino Rossi after being banned for four years for doping.

Iannone will take the place of regular VR46 Ducati rider Fabio Di Giannantonio, who will sit out the final two rounds of the MotoGP season in Malaysia and Valencia to undergo left shoulder surgery after a crash in Austria in August saw him miss one Grand Prix and ride under duress when he returned. Nicknamed ‘The Maniac’, Iannone won eight times in Moto2 from 2010-12 and was often a fierce rival to Marc Marquez before moving to MotoGP in 2013, spending four years with Ducati, two with Suzuki and his final 2019 season with Aprilia before his doping ban.
