Miller, Morbidelli and Binder join WorldSBK for 2027

Jack Miller, Franco Morbidelli and Brad Binder will move to the World Superbike championship for 2027, the first season of the Michelin tyre era. The three former premier-class grand prix winners will join a 22-rider grid featuring nine Ducatis, six Yamahas, two BMWs, two Bimotas, two Hondas and a Kawasaki.

World champion Nicolo Bulega is leaving for MotoGP, while Iker Lecuona, the reigning title runner-up, remains in the series. Alvaro Bautista and Danilo Petrucci are among the riders not on the 2027 grid. Albert Arenas completes the line-up on a second Goeleven machine, alongside Lorenzo Baldassarri.
