The Superbike Advocates BSB team is reportedly aiming to wildcard at three WorldSBK races in 2026.
The Superbike Advocates team is planning wildcard appearances at three WorldSBK rounds in 2026 ahead of its first season in BSB next year. They are reportedly linked with Andrea Iannone as a potential rider to continue in World Superbike beyond 2025, even though their main commitment is to BSB. The commitment to WorldSBK from Superbike Advocates would be for three races at the beginning of the 2026 season before BSB starts in May. They plan to make wildcard appearances at the Australian, Portuguese, and Dutch WorldSBK rounds, the first three rounds of the 2026 season. The rider expected to join the team is Tommy Bridewell, who is set to return to Ducati after two years at Honda Racing UK. The Superbike Advocates team has not announced their rider lineup for the 2026 BSB season, but Bridewell would bring some World Superbike experience if he joins. Andrea Iannone’s only chance of staying in World Superbike in 2026 is reported to be setting up his own team, costing over €1 million.
