The 2027 WorldSBK rider line-up so far
The 2027 World Superbike line-up, with just one place still to be decided.
This is the confirmed team and rider line-up for the 2027 World Superbike championship, the first year of the Michelin tyre era.
World champion Nicolo Bulega is leaving for MotoGP, but three premier-class race winners - Jack Miller, Franco Morbidelli and Brad Binder - will be moving in the opposite direction and joining WorldSBK.
Alex Rins has already ruled out joining them, despite being linked with Goeleven Ducati, while Maverick Vinales is yet to announce his future after also being left off the MotoGP grid.
Former WorldSBK champion Alvaro Bautista is the biggest name yet to announce his future with Xavi Verge, displayed by Miller at Yamaha, taking over Bautista's Barni ride...
With Motoxracing Yamaha retaining Mattia Rato and Twan Smits, and MGM Ducati not expected on the 2027 grid, the only seat still available is a newly confirmed second Panigale ride alongside Lorenzo Baldassarri at the Goeleven team...
