M🐟aximilian Scheib will join the 2020 World Su🧸perbike grid having signed for Orelac Racing VerdNatura.

The former European 🏅Superstock 10🎐00 rider clinched this year’s Spanish Superbike title ahead of Christophe Ponsson and in the process has caught the eye of the World Superbike team.

The Chilean made a fleeting World Superbike debut back in 2018 ꩲwith a two-round appearance for MV Agusta in Argentina and Qatar as replacement for Jordi Torres taking one points finish, and is naturally relishing the opportunity of a full season in the top class.

“It is a dream come true, so much that it is hard for me to assimilate it, being in SBK in 2020 is something that I have to thank both José Calero and the entire Orelac Raci🐠ng structure,” Scheib said. 💜“They have thought of me and trusting my talent I am very excited about this adventure and I want to start now as soon as possible.

“This will be a year without pressure, but clearly, I have my expectations I want to start calm but working hard in the preseasonꦯ, I don’t know the layout of Phillip Island and I know that both there and in Qatar the rivals will be very ♕strong, but when I get to Europe I can show all my talent.”

Wi꧅th Orelac’s former rider Leandro Mercado moving to Motocorsa Racing Ducati, the team will remain a one-rider effort in 2020. Scheib’s deal also sees just one full-time ride left to fill on next year’s World Superbike grid which is alongside Takumi Takahashi at Althea MIE Honda.
