Axel Bassani “can’t say” if he would’ve renewed with KRT in WorldSBK without he Bimota project.
Axel Bassani expressed uncertainty regarding his decision to re-sign with the Provec Racing squad for 2026 without the Bimota project, which saw the team switch from Kawasaki to Bimota for 2025. In the previous season, Bassani struggled to adapt to the Kawasaki after coming from Ducati, while teammate Alex Lowes achieved better results.
Transitioning to Bimota in 2025, Bassani showed more promising performances, notably qualifying on the front row at Misano. He credited the change to Bimota for improving his performance and team dynamics, which made it an ideal situation for him.
Although the Donington weekend was disappointing for Bassani, his Misano results and overall experience with Bimota in 2025 left him feeling optimistic about the progress they have made. With the 2025 season being competitive, Bassani emphasized the importance of qualifying due to a closely contested field from P3 to P10.
