Plenty of factory WorldSBK seats have already been confirmed, as the series’ last three world champions in Jonathan Rea, Toprak Razgatli𝔍oglu an💝d Alvaro Bautista have all been confirmed.

Rea an🧜d Bautista are staying put while Razgatlioglu will join BMW from Yamaha next season.

• “Normal brain 𒐪fu༒nction” - Rinaldi suffers no “long-term damage” 
• Baz: Sykes accident “was so scary, consequence could have been👍 much worse”

Others to have their names booked onto the 2024 grid inclu🌱de Alex ꧃Lowes at Kawasaki, Garrett Gerloff with Bonovo Action BMW and Andrea Locatelli, remaining at Pata Yamaha. 

But those six riders are the only🎃 ones to be announced, as Ducati🧸, BMW, Yamaha and Honda all have factory and satellite seats up for grabs.

The most in-demand sea🌼t will be that of Michael Ruben Rinaldi at Aruba.it Ducati. A strong start to the season in terms of pure pace was 🧸a promising sign for Rinaldi, however the results and consistency have not reflected that.

Although it’s no🐻t been confirmed, Rinaldi could be moved on from Ducati as Nicolo Bulega is a rider who is beginning to gain major traction as it relates to replacing hi💙s fellow Italian. 

In the satellite Ducat𒅌i teams, Danilo Petrucci looks set to remain with Barni Ducati should he stay in𝓀 WorldSBK.

After missing out on the second factory Kawasaki seat, it appears as though Axel Bassani could be staying put with Motocorsa Ducati, althoug♛h his dream of joining the factory team is still a possibility.

Where there could be an opening is GoEleven Ducati, as Philipp Oettl has not delivered results consistently, while there’s also continu💖ed rumours linking Andrea Iannone with a return to world championship racing with Ducati in WorldSBK. 

Iannone with a move to GoEleven or Barni Ducati should the team expand to a tಞwo-rider outfit, are potential moves to watch out foಌr. 

At BMW, the battle i൲s on to line-up alongside Raz🐓gatlioglu as both Scott Redding and Michael Van Der Mark have admitted that their intention is to remain with the team.

Yamaha also have one half of the🐻ir line-up sorted for next season, but the ride alongside Locatelli remains the balance.

The Japanese manufacturer h𒀰as on more than one occasion stated that promoting a rider from within📖 their ranks is the main priority, which could give the likes of Dominique Aergeter a very good shot at joining the team. 

Finally there’s Honda, who are the only brand not to have confirmed a rider inside their factory te☂am.

Rinaldi, should he leave Ducati is a name to watch out for, as is MotoGP rider Takaaki Nakagam🐲i should he move paddock. 

Iker Lecuona and Xavi Vierge h𓄧ave struggled during their second season aboard the𝔍 CBR1000RR-R, and could be in danger of losing their seats.
