The big seat yet to be filled is the factory Kawasaki ride❀ alongside Alex Lowes, after six-time world champion Jonathan Rea decided to swap the green and black for Yamaha. 

Axel Bassani, who was expected to stay at Motocorsa Ducati a😼fter being overlooked by Aruba.it Ducati in f൲avour of Nicolo Bulega, is the rider set to replace Rea.

• Danilo Petru🎃cci stays with Barni Ducati🌺 for 2024 WorldSBK season 
• Rea: “There’s no substitute for horsep💮ower, lost three tenths to Ducati…”

Bassani has long clamoured for a factory seat and will get his chance to become a team leader at the most successful tea𓆉m in Superbike history. 

With Bassani set to join KRT, wha🎃t does that mean for Michael Ruben Rinaldi?

The Ducati rider could yet remain with the Italian manufacturer should Bassani leave Motocors𒐪a, however,𝕴 it appears as though Rinaldi could join Team HRC.

Xavi Vierge and I🔯ker Lecuona are said to have contracts for the 𝔉2024 season, but with Lecuona potentially moving back to MotoGP with LCR, Rinaldi would then become the favourite to secure his seat. 

Honda are yet to confirm a rider for 🀅either of thei♔r 2024 seats and remain the only factory team not to have done so. 

At BMW, Toprak Razgatlioglu is secure although it remains to be seen who will l🍸ine💯-up alongside him. 

The expectation is that Michael Van Der Mark will stay aboard the factory M 1000 RR, while Scott Redding will switch to Bonovo Action BMW alongside Garrett Ger🌄loff.
