After making his professional racing debut in the 2016 WorldSSP championship, Axel Bassani split time across both that and the Moto2 series in 2017. Not a full-time ride𓂃r in either category - competed in just two WorldSSP races and four in Moto2 that season - Bassani had to wait three years for his first full world championship campaign (2020).

The yℱoung Italian raced for Yamaha during the 2020 WorldSSP season as he went on to claim a best of eighth during the penultimate rac🃏e at Estoril. While it was Bassani’s best result of the season, it was far from his best race finish in the Supersport class after he achieved a fourth and fifth during the final two rounds of 2016. 

Following his 2020 season Bassani was signed to WorldSBK where he competed for Motocorsa Ducati. The 22 year-old was one of the better rookies the class has seen in recent seasons after he finished the year n꧙inth.  

During the☂ first half of the year Bassani recorded a best result of fifth in race one at the new Autodrom Most circuit (round 6), however, he soon bettered that by taking a maiden podium at round nine in Catalunya. After battling with eventual 2021 world champion Toprak Razgatlioglu for much of the race, Bassani looked set to take victory after the Yamaha rider suffered a mechanical issue. 

That was before fellow Ducati ri⭕der Scott Redding found late pace and managed to overtakﷺe the Italian rider with three laps remaining.

Bassani finishꦏed out the season with an impressive 11 top ⛎tens in 12 races.

In 2023, Bassani finished sixth in the WSBK stand💞ings before a switch to Kawasaki.

This majorly stunted Bassani's progress, and he could only mana💦ge 14th in the championship in his first year on Japanese machinery.

He is representing the rebranded Bimo♋ta by Kawa❀saki Racing Team in 2025.
