Superbike unveils the "entry list" of the 2024 season

Twenty-three; riders, seven of them Italian: these are the ones that immediately jump out at you when you look at the "entry list" of World Superbike 2024. World champion Alvaro Bautista, winner in 2022 and 2023, will thus have to contend with twenty-two fierce opponents, including confirmations, new faces and "changes of shirt" such as those of rivals Toprak Razgatlioglu (switched from Yamaha to BMW) and Jonathan Rea (from Kawasaki to Yamaha).

Nourished the tricolor patrol, which will see at the start as many as seven centaurs of the Bel Paese: curiosity; for Nicolò Bulega, fresh winner of the Supersport World Championship, who will flankà Bautista in the top team of Ducati, and for Andrea Iannone, who always riding the Panigale V4R, although that "clienti" of TEAM GO ELEVEN, will return to racing after four years of forced stop.

The other Italian riders are Andrea Locatelli, Rea’s teammate at PATA PROMETEON YAMAHA, Axel Bassani, Kawasaki’s rider, Michael Ruben Rinaldi, who will ride the Motocorsa Racing Team Ducati, and Danilo Petrucci, who is also confirmed for next season riding the Ducati Panigale V4R of the BARNI Spark Racing Team.

The 2024 World Superbike season will consist of 12 rounds, each awarding points for Race 1, Superpole Race and Race 2: will be run, according to the calendar confirmed last October, at Phillip Island (Australia), Barcelona (Catalonia), Assen (Netherlands), Misano (Emilia Romagna), Donington Park (UK), Most (Czech Republic), Algarve (Portugal), Balaton (Hungary), Magny-Cours (France), Cremona (Italy), Aragon (in the Spanish region of the same name) and Jerez (Spain).
