The 2023 WorldSBK season was all about one ride♍r, Alvaro Bautista. The Ducati rider made it back-to-back titles after winning 27 races.

Bautista was even more dominant than his first championship winning season, but that wasn’t to say that others faile🔯d to impress.

• “🐓He’s a really big namജe” Locatelli gets new crew chief from MotoGP 
• 💧Rea has ‘much more margin’ with Yamaha, bike ‘ac🐻cepts different styles’

Although he ♉didꦓn’t win as many races as he wanted, Razgatlioglu took the title fight down to the final round.

The now BMW rider won six🦂 races but was more consistent than Bautista in the second half of the season, thus allowing him to stay in contention despite the huge difference in win 🅠totals. 

2023 was somဣewhat of a down year for Jonathan Rea, as the six-time world champion won just once at M๊ost.

Axel Bassani was the top Independent rider as he got the better 𒐪of impressive rookie Danilo Petrucci.

Other rookies who had stand out per🔴formances were the GRT Yamahaಞ duo of Dominique Aegerter and Remy Gardner.

2023 was again a disappointing se🃏ason for Honda and BMW, as neither manufacturer got closer toꦜ winning races.
