The 2023 WorldSBK season was all about one rider, Alvaro Bautistaꦦ. The Ducati rider made i𓆉t back-to-back titles after winning 27 races.

Bautista was even more dominant than his first champio﷽nship winning seaso🗹n, but that wasn’t to say that others failed to impress.

• “He’s a re༒all📖y big name” Locatelli gets new crew chief from MotoGP 
• Rea has ‘much more margin’ with Ya✅maha, bike ‘accepts diffe🃏rent styles’

Although he didn’t win as many races as he wanted, Razgatlioglu took the t𓆏itle fight down to the final round.

The now BMW rider won six races but was more consistent than Bautisꦕta in the second half of the season, thus allowing him to stay in contention despite the huge diffജerence in win totals. 

2023 was somew🐼hat of a down year for 🐻Jonathan Rea, as the six-time world champion won just once at Most.

Axel Bassani was the top Indepe🍷ndent rider as he got the bet𝓀ter of impressive rookie Danilo Petrucci.

Other rook🌟ies who had stand out performances were the GRT Yamaha duo of Dominique Aegerter and Remy 🅰Gardner.

2023 was again a disꦕappointing season for Honda and BMW, as neither manufacturer got closer to winning races.
