WorldSBK crew chiefs: Who is working with which rider for the 2024 season?
While shocking rider moves took place for the 2024 WorldSBK season, some big names have also been on theℱ move when it comes to crew chiefs.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea stole many headlines in 2023 when they announced their WorldSBK moves to BMW and Yamaha, respectively.

- Andrea Ianno෴ne ‘living the dream in WorldSBཧK, Ducati my preferred bike’
Nicolo Bulega, the reigning WorldSSP ch෴ampion and Sam Lowes moved to WorldSBK aboard Panigale V4 R machines.
Replacing Rea at Kawasaki is Axel Bassani, who has become a factory rider for the first time in his Superbike careꦉer as𓃲 a result.
But while there have been plenty of rider changes, that’s also true in the crew chief market as Phil Marron, who was part of Razg🔯atlioglu’s title success at Yamaha in 2021, has followed the Turkish star to BMW.
At Yamaha, Rea will be working alongside former WorldSSP team-mate Andrew Pitt,ꦰ who was also a Superbike rider in 2010 which was Rea’s third year in the series.
Pitt moves across to Rea’s side of the garage after being al🦩ongside Andrea Locatelli. For the latter, Locatelli will be working with Tom O’Kane who comes across from the factory Yamaha team in MotoGP.
There has also been 💖a game of musical chairs at Kawasaki following Rea’s departure, with Alex Lowes now work🎐ing with Pere Riba.
Kaw🉐asaki new boy Bassani will be working together with Marcel Dui🍬nker, who previously worked with Lowes and Tom Sykes.
At the factory Ducati team, Bulega is stepping up 🐼with his 𒐪crew chief from WorldSSP, Tommaso Raponi.
Another name who has left MotoGP to become a crew chief in WorldSBK is Tom Jojic who will work with Iker Lecuona. Scott Redding will work with Loris Baz’s crew chief from la𒅌st season, Bela Kujundzic.
But some noticeable partnerships that are remaining the same🔥 include Alvaro Bautista and Giulio Nava, M♕ichael Van Der Mark and Marcus Eschenbacher, while Xavi Vierge will continue to work alongside Gorka Segura.
