Alvaro Bautista, Toprak R💫azgatlioglu, Andrea Locatelli and Alex Lowes are the headline names already confirmed for next season, but that doesn’t mean big moves aren’t on the way.

Jonathan Rea

• Johann Zarco admits Ducati wanted "♛me in WorldSBK" 
• Bautista:🌳 “I think Bulega is very fast, he deserves an opportunity in W♈orldSBK”

Rea is also part of that list as he has an additional year on his current deal, however, recent speculation has sugges🉐ted that he could 𓆉find a way out of his Kawasaki contract.

You may ask why Rea would do that given his success with Kawasaki, but with Yamaha showing more performance over the last few seasons, and the Japanese manufacturer being interested in the six-time world champion, a move to replace Razgatlioglu 🐻is not out of the question. 

Rea hinted at the last round in Most that his options were still open for next season, as did Yamaha ꧑who said to be in the market for a ‘top🏅 level’ rider.

This one could take time and may not be done bef𝄹ore Magny-Cours if it were to materialise, which is a big if. 

Nicolo Bulega

Perhaps the most expected move that💃 could happen at the French round is WorldSSP series leader Bulega to Ducat🙈i.

The Italian looks poised for a step up with Aruba.it Ducati and b🎃ecome Bautista’s teammate. 

Ducati have confirmed a decision is imminent,✤ and with Axel Bassani set to stay at Motocorsa it means Bulega is the clear favourite.

Michael Ruben Rinaldi

With Rinaldi in big danger of losing h💞is factory Ducati seat, moving to another manufacturer is the expecteღd outcome as links to Honda have intensified. 

Rinaldi’s early season pace has not led to the results expected by Ducati, but with that said, Rinaldi is a proven WorldSBK race w💯inner and would be a good addition to Honda who remain locked in a battle with BMW for the position of fourth best brand on the grid. 

Andrea Iannone

Set for aᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ return to world championship racing, Iannone is a contender to join Ducati with the GoEleven team.

Philipp Oettl has not made the jump needed and Iannone’s hopes of becoming a Superbike rider have greatly increased ove🌼r recent rounds.

Iannone has also been attached to Barni buಌt the Italian team looks set to keep Da🌌nilo Petrucci.

Scott Redding

Last on this list is Redding🃏 who has already confirmed he will be staying in WorldSBK, however, it remains to be see𝄹n where. 

Staying with BMW is expected for the 2020 runner-up, although joining Bonovo Action BMW might be the more realistic option as Razgatlioglu has been confirmed, while Michael Van Der Mar🥂k also believes he will be staying in the factory team.
