Jerez WorldSBK: Michael Ruben Rinaldi to announce 2024 plans on Monday, Philipp Oettl ‘considering WorldSSP’

Rinaldi will move on from the factory Ducati team af✱ter being replaced by WorldSSP champion Nicolo Bulega.
The Italian was expected to be a conte𓃲nder for one of the Team HRC machines before Honda confirmed their plans to continue with Iker Lecuona and Xavi Vierge.

But Rinaldi has since found a ne𝄹w home, saying: “The sit🔥uation is clear but with the new team, we decided not to say anything until the end of the race on Sunday.
“We’ll make an announcement on Monday; I’ll enjoy the last races in these colours and th♎en⛦ think about 2024.”
Another Ducati rider who has been trying to remain in WorldSBK but appears to be having a much tougher tim🦄e of doing so is Philipp Oettl.
The German is set to be replaced by Andrea Iannone and G✱oEleven Ducati, and admits his future may not be in the premier class.
“At the moment, there’s no concrete plans,” said Oettl. “There was a📖 lot of talk over the la🍰st few months, and, in the end, all the options went away.
“Now, I don’t have any real ⛦plans. Of course, I wanted ꦜto arrive with a contract in hand to be sure for next year but now the situation is a little bit different.
“I’ve considered moving to WorldSSP because෴ you have to be open for everything. There were some options but, in the end, but I have to consider that I’m 27 and I’m doing a good job, but I don’t want to go into a test team.
“It was an option and still is. Endurance is a thing and so’s the USA. I’m open for everything ꧒but I know it’s quite late, but it has to be 🔯a good option. I have my personal goals and I still want to achieve them.”
Axel Bassani wants to give Motocorsa ‘a gift’ at Jerez

Bassani will have one of the toughest jobs in WorldSBK history, 🦹which is to replace six-time world cham🀅pion Jonathan Rea at Kawasaki.
The Italian has🦹 been in the Superbike class for three years, all of w♋hich have come aboard the Motocorsa Ducati, meaning his switch to Kawasaki will also be his first factory ride.
Aiming to finish his journey with Ducati on a positive note, Bassani said 𝓀this about the season-finale: “It’s a special one. We had a lon🦄g story with three years together. I started in WorldSBK with Motocorsa so it’s like a family for me.
“I’ll try to give 100ও% on the track to end the season with a really good result, try to enjoy it with my t🌳eam and after, on Sunday night, we’ll have a party!
“I want to give a gift to Motocorsa to try to win the best Independent Riders’ t♌itle and end the season in a good way. I want to jump on the new bike to try to understand what I expect for me next season. It’s totally different to go from Ducati to Kawasaki.
“There are a lot of changes, I hope t🌞hese changes help to be nearer to Ducati for the Japanese bikes. Andrea Iannone is a big name for WorldSBK and brings⛎ a lot of light to the championship.
“I’m happy about Andrea’s arrival, I hope to battle with him 𓂃on track and we will see if 🧸we can beat him or not!”
