Ahead of the first WorldSB♛K test of 2020 in Spain, the FIM unveiled a 22-strong permanent entry list bu♏t with two spots listed as TBA belonging to Pedercini Kawasaki and MIE Racing.

It is understood issues with these two teams led t🍌o the delay of the entry list being published, but both♐ are still yet to firm up its riders. Pedercini Kawasaki had originally confirmed Jordi Torres and Lorenzo Savadori, but investigations embroiling its title sponsor Global Service Solutions led to a split.

As such, Pedercini Kawasaki has slimmed🔜 to a single TBA entry and withdrawn from WorldSSP alto🍬gether, with Torres and Savadori now missing from the line-up.

Meanwhile, MIE Racing still looks set to run a p🦂air of satellite Honda CBR1000RR-Rs, with an as-yet-unconfirmed rider ♒to join Takumi Takahashi in the line-up.

In addition to the two missing names, two entries – Motocorsa Racing (Leꦑandro Mercado) and Brixx Performance (Sylvain Barrier) – are only expected to join the ranks from the European rounds onwards.

Elsewhere on the entry list there are no surprises beyond what has alrea👍dy been revealed with upgraded Honda factory effort to be run under the Team HRC banner. Only Motocorsa is a brand-new entry.

In all, there will be six Ducati entries, five from Kawasaki, five from Yamaha, four f🅠rom Honda and BMW on two.

Though there is a more international feel to this year’s line-up with entries from USA, Japan and Chile, the UK still dominates with✃ seven r⭕iders.
