The big seat yet to be filled is the factory Kawasaki ride alongside Alex Lowes, after six-time world champion Jonathan Rea decide🔯d to swap the green and black for Yamaha. 

Axel Bassani🦹, who was expected to stay at Motocorsa Ducati after being overlooked by Aruba.it Ducati in favour▨ of Nicolo Bulega, is the rider set to replace Rea.

• Danilo Petrucci staysꦓ with Barni Du꧋cati for 2024 WorldSBK season 
• Rea: “There’s no substitute fo๊r horsepower, lost three tenths to Ducati…”

Bassani has long⛄ clamoured for a factory seat and will get his chance to become a team leader at the most successful team in Superbike history. 

With Bassani set♒ to join KRT, what does that mean for Michael R𝔍uben Rinaldi?

The Ducati rid⭕er could yet ♕remain with the Italian manufacturer should Bassani leave Motocorsa, however, it appears as though Rinaldi could join Team HRC.

Xavi Vierge and Iker Lecuona are said to have contracts for the 2024 season, but with Lecuona potentially movin🃏g back to MotoGP with LCR, Rinaldi would then become the favourite to secure his seat. 

Honda are yet to confirm a rider for either of their 2024 seats and remain the only factory team n💯ot to have don𝕴e so. 

At BMW, Top🔯rak Razgatli🤡oglu is secure although it remains to be seen who will line-up alongside him. 

The expectation is that Michael Van Der Mark will sꦯta🌱y aboard the factory M 1000 RR, while Scott Redding will switch to Bonovo Action BMW alongside Garrett Gerloff.
