While shockin♏g rider moves took place for the 2024 WorldSBK season, some big names have also༺ been on the move when it comes to crew chiefs.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea stole many headlines in 2023 when they announced their WorldSBK moves to BMW and Yamaha, respectively.
Then there was t🍎he return of Andrea Iannone, which not only added another big name to the world championship, but strengthened Ducati even further.

- Andrea Iannone ‘living the drea𝕴m in WorldSBK, Ducati my preferred bike’
Nicolo Bulega, the reigning WorldSSP champion and Sam Lowes moved to WorldSBK aboard Pan꧙igale V4 R machines.
Replaꦰcing Rea aꩲt Kawasaki is Axel Bassani, who has become a factory rider for the first time in his Superbike career as a result.
But whil𝕴e there have been plenty of rider changes, that’s also true in the crew chief market as Phil Marron, who was part of R♈azgatlioglu’s title success at Yamaha in 2021, has followed the Turkish star to BMW.
At Yamaha, Rea will be working alongside former WorldSSP team-mate Andrew Pitt, who was also a Superbike rider in 2010 which was Rea’s third ye🎉ar in the series.
Pitt moves across to Rea’🐟s side of the garage after being alongside Andrea Locatelli. For the latter, Locatelli will be working with Tom O’Kane who comes across from the factory Y🍃amaha team in MotoGP.
There has also been a game of musical chairs at Kawasaki following Rea’s departure, with Alex Lowes now working with P🍎ere Riba.
Kawasaki new boy♒ Bassani will be working together with Marcel Duinker, who previously worked with Lowes ♛and Tom Sykes.
At the factory Ducati team, Bulega is stepping up with his crew chi🍰ef from WorldSSP, Tommaso Raponi.
Another name who has ⛎left MotoGP to become a crew chief in WorldSBK is Tom Jojic who will work with Iker Lecuona. Scott Redding will work with Loris Baz’s crew chief from last season, Bela ♋Kujundzic.
But some noticeable partnerships that are remaining the same include Alvaro Bautista and Giulio Nava, Michael Van Der Mark and Marcus E⭕schenbacher, while Xavi Vierge will continue to work alongside Gorka Segura.
