Michael Van Der Mark’s home WorldSBK round in Assen ended in disaster after the Dutch rider suffered a brutal highside on lap two.

Alvaro Bautista claims his current pace in WorldSBK is the limit of what he can do, although it appears as though more isn’t needed following another dominant weekend.

Kenan Sofuoglu has given his views on where Toprak Razgatlioglu could ride in 2024, and why his preference is for the 2021 WorldSBK champion not to join MotoGP.

Six-time WorldSBK champion Jonathan Rea says the likes of himself and Toprak Razgatlioglu are not blowing up in races trying to beat Alvaro Bautista, but rather that the Ducati rider, along with his team are simply doing a better job of keeping their pace ‘over longer distance’.

Alvaro Bautista recovered from a three-place grid penalty in the Tissot Superpole session to win his sixth WorldSBK race of the season, after an early battle with Jonathan Rea.

Jonathan Rea says a change in conditions during FP2 at the Dutch WorldSBK round in Assen, plus electronics issues that need to be 'dialed out' resulted in some scary moments.

Whether it’s MotoGP or WorldSBK Yamaha are hoping to keep hold of Toprak Razgatlioglu, with the 2021 Superbike champion’s contract set to end after this season.

Wins in WorldSBK might continue to look like a distant dream at present for BMW, but Michael Van Der Mark is not losing hope.

Alvaro Bautista has opened the door to leaving Ducati despite winning five of the first six WorldSBK races this season.

Toprak Razgatlioglu’s WorldSBK rivals have backed him to succeed if he makes a high-profile move to Yamaha’s MotoGP team.

On the podium just once so far this season, the 2023 WorldSBK campaign has been somewhat of a disaster for Jonathan Rea through two rounds.

Toprak Razgatlioglu may have been given his second runout on a Yamaha MotoGP bike, however, a lack of speed and adaption from WorldSBK to MotoGP are concerns that persist, all of which could mean a delayed move to Grand Prix racing, again.

Danilo Petrucci is not optimistic about his chances of ever becoming a WorldSBK champion, although winning a race… ‘I’m here to at least try’.

Toprak Razgatlioglu is not Yamaha's No 1 choice for their line-up next season, says managing director Lin Jarvis, who would rather Franco Morbidelli continues to show the speed needed to stay alongside Fabio Quartararo.

As his WorldSBK debut inches closer at Assen, Bradley Ray has been left ‘confident’ by his race pace, particularly on used tyres.

Despite achieving some impressive results during his first two rounds as a WorldSBK rider in Phillip Island and Mandalika, extracting full potential from new tyres has and continues to be an issue for Danilo Petrucci.

Toprak Razgatlioglu has confirmed he’s aiming to leave WorldSBK after his contract with Yamaha expires at the end of this season and join MotoGP.

The reigning Moto3 World Champion will have to wait for his Moto2 debut after suffering from arm pump and a triangular ligament injury.

After his worst start to a WorldSBK season with Kawasaki, Jonathan Rea has stressed the importance of this week’s two-day Aragon test.

Keith Huewen believes there is ‘zero’ chance of Kawasaki returning to MotoGP in place of the recently departed Suzuki in the coming years.

After seeing Andrea Iannone take part in a private test aboard a Ducati Panigale V4, and rumours linking him with a racing return to WorldSBK, Danilo Petrucci has confirmed he expects his fellow Italian to be back on the world championship stage.

Michael Ruben Rinaldi still dreams of fighting teammate Alvaro Bautista for the WorldSBK title, despite seeing the Spaniard win five of the first six races.

Despite an impressive opening two rounds to his WorldSBK career Danilo Petrucci is not entirely ‘happy’, something a maiden podium result will change.

Loris Baz says the impact from his accident with Alex Lowes in Race 2 of the Indonesian WorldSBK round had him worried that he lost his leg.
