World Superbike: Kawasaki signs Bassani to replace Rea in 2024
Italian rider Axel Bassani will leave Motocorsa Ducati after three seasons to join Kawasaki next year, alongside Alex Lowes. This move comes after Jonathan Rea’s decision to end his deal with Kawasaki and move to Yamaha. Bassani has been chosen to replace Rea based on his impressive performances in the World Superbike Championship, where he has achieved six podium finishes and two front row starts. Currently sitting fifth in the standings, Bassani was also a contender to join the factory Ducati squad for 2024. Kawasaki sees him as their “best prospect” and hopes to build a successful future without Rea.
