WorldSBK rookie snaps back after team split confirmed: “We had a two-year contract”
Ryan Vickers has disputed some points and implications in the announcement confirming his departure from the Motocorsa Ducati team at the end of the 2025 WorldSBK season. According to Vickers, the contract was a ‘two-plus-one’ deal, not a ‘one-plus-one’ as implied by the team. He expressed shock at the way the announcement was made and disagreed with the team’s reasoning for the split, citing financial reasons rather than performance. Vickers emphasized that he wants to be supported properly wherever he ends up next and hopes to return to World Superbike in the future. The British rider has been linked with a move back to BSB for 2026 and is looking forward to potential new opportunities ahead.
