Pol Espargaro keen on two options for WorldSBK 2026 ride
Pol Espargaro is still looking for a World Superbike Championship race seat, having lost his MotoGP KTM seat to Pedro Acosta in 2023. Despite suffering injuries in a serious crash at the start of the 2023 season, Espargaro has showcased his talent as a replacement rider for KTM. His manager, Alberto Valera, is working on generating interest for Espargaro in the WorldSBK paddock, with BMW and Honda being potential options. The possibility of Espargaro joining Honda is intriguing, especially since his brother Aleix is a test rider for the manufacturer in MotoGP. While some may think he has retired, Espargaro clarifies that he never officially retired and is determined to continue racing and competing.
