Axel Bassani will stay with Motocorsa Racing for the 2023 WorldSBK season as he targets a move to the factory Ducati team in '24:
The Italian rider will remain on board the team's solo Ducati V4 R Panigale for a third campaign next year, having established himself as one of the category's top independent riders.
“I’m really happy to continue with Motocorsa and we’ll see what happens!" said Bassani."This year, we did a really good job and we continued in a good way and grew up a lot. "We’ll aim for this and try to do the best possible. I hope to be on the podium every weekend! I want to enjoy the moment and this season, and after, during the winter break, I’ll start to focus on 2023.
However, Rinaldi is only 35 points clear of Bassani in the standings, and the latter has publicly stated on multiple occasions that beating his factory counterpart will be key to proving himself worthy of a future works ride.
