Bimota maintains promising rider line-up for BSB 2027 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bimota has confirmed its 2027 BSB rider line-up, with the same two riders remaining at the FS-3-run team. Bimota debuted in BSB this year and has shown good potential at times, taking podium finishes and pole positions with Max Cook, who has become the team’s senior rider this year alongside rookie Joe Talbot. Talbot himself has become an increasingly consistent top-six contender through the mid-part of his rookie campaign in BSB’s premier category with a best result of fourth coming in Race 3 a
The behind-the-scenes tech that helped Nicolo Bulega to WorldSBK dominance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nicolo Bulega’s 2026 WorldSBK season has been one of pure dominance, but behind a great rider is a great team, and in the present day that great team must rely on powerful technology. Thirty WorldSBK races have been run in 2026 and 26 of those have been won by Bulega. The Italian came into the season with a four-race winning run, so by winning every race in the first seven rounds Bulega was able to extend that streak out to 25 races – 12 better than the previous record set by Toprak Razgatlioglu
Alvaro Bautista options narrow as Barni Ducati makes second 2027 WorldSBK signing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alvaro Bautista will no longer be a Barni Ducati rider in 2027 after the Italian team confirmed the signing of Xavi Vierge for next year’s WorldSBK season.

At the same time, Barni was looking for a replacement for Alvaro Bautista, who has disappointed in 2026 with only one podium and a best dry weather result
Ryan Vickers to remain with Honda for 2027 BSB season (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ryan Vickers and Honda Racing UK will continue together in the 2027 BSB season after taking race wins in 2026. Vickers has been the third-most-victorious rider so far in 2026 with his four wins from Thruxton and Cadwell Park putting him ahead of Bradley Ray and behind only Scott Redding and championship leader Kyle Ryde for race wins this year. The extension of the agreement between Vickers and Honda was perhaps, therefore, to be expected, despite a tricky start to the year that saw Vickers – wh
Multiple MotoGP riders dismiss Michelin’s Motegi addition (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Michelin has brought its harder-construction rear tyre to the Japanese MotoGP, but its viability as a genuine option has been downplayed by riders. The harder-construction tyre is used by Michelin at circuits where it is concerned about excessive heat build up in the rear tyre due to frequent hard accelerations around a layout. The circuits in Buriram, Mandalika, Spielberg, and Goiania have used the harder-construction tyre this year. In the case of the first three races, the heat-dissipating co
