The Barni Ducati rider does not expect fellow Panigale V4 R rider Alvaro Bautista to surrender his status as favourite for the 2024 WorldSBK campaign.

The WorldSBK rookie says the 2024 season will be ‘very important’ as he gets set for his first season alongside two-time champion Alvaro Bautista.

The former two-time WorldSSP champion will take no part in the remainder of day-one in Jerez due to illness.

Nicolo Bulega made a superb start to pre-season testing as he topped day one of the WorldSBK test at Jerez.

Two-time WorldSBK champion Alvaro Bautista says the new rider and bike weight limit will make it especially hard for him this season.

The opening pre-season test of 2024 is today, as Alvaro Bautista, Toprak Razgatlioglu and Jonathan Rea will lead a star-studded line-up.

Gigi Dall’Igna says the new rider and bike weight limit rule in WorldSBK could result in them adding six kilos, depending on Alvaro Bautista’s bike.

Alvaro Bautista says he’s fully focused on himself ahead of defending his WorldSBK title for the second consecutive season.

Toprak Razgatlioglu moving to BMW has done little to dampen Kenan Sofuoglu’s expectations, as the former Supersport great expects him to fight for WorldSBK wins from the outset in 2024.

Axel Bassani says the objective in his first season as a factory rider in WorldSBK is to learn as much as possible.

Garrett Gerloff and Scott Redding believe Toprak Razgatlioglu is the perfect rider to push forward BMW’s WorldSBK project.

Ducati's Gigi Dall’Igna says achieving more than the 2023 WorldSBK campaign is ‘difficult to imagine’.

Nicolo Bulega has arguably the toughest challenge on his hands this season, which is contending with two-time WorldSBK champion Alvaro Bautista as his team-mate.

Kenan Sofuoglu believes 2021 WorldSBK champion Toprak Razgatlioglu has landed with the right manufacturer to overhaul Ducati.

Alvaro Bautista and rookie WorldSBK team-mate Nicolo Bulega have taken the covers off their 2024 Ducati machine.

Garrett Gerloff wants to build on his first season with BMW by becoming a consistent challenger for WorldSBK podiums in 2024.

Toprak Razgatlioglu says it will only take two or three races to understand if he can fight for the WorldSBK title in 2024.

BMW’s new WorldSBK test line-up of Bradley Smith and Sylvain Guintoli is the strongest of any manufacturer, and Christian Gonschor admits that limited test time will need to be used wisely.

Shaun Muir says Michael Van Der Mark expects to push Toprak Razgatlioglu very closely in the 2024 WorldSBK campaign.

Scott Redding says missing out on a WorldSBK podium in 2023 ‘upset me a lot’, and that he hopes to change that after securing a switch to Bonovo Action BMW.

Shaun Muir says there is no added pressure to do well despite the addition of 2021 WorldSBK champion Toprak Razgatlioglu.

Marc Bongers says that the common criticisms of BMW’s M 1000 RR were denied by Toprak Razgatlioglu when he stepped aboard their WorldSBK machine.

Michael Van Der Mark says the addition of Toprak Razgatlioglu to BMW means they have signed the best rider in WorldSBK.
