With only one more round left in the 2023 WorldSBK, it’s already pretty clear who will be coming out on top. Sitting in first place so far is Alvaro Bautista for Ducati with a total of 628 points. In second place is Toprak Razgatlioglu, who has currently amassed a total of 552 points. Meanwhile, in third place, we have Jonathan Rea for Kawasaki, with 370 points.
While these standings could still change in the final round, chances are we’ll be seeing these three gentlemen in the podium of the 2023 season. Interestingly, moving into the 2024 season, there are some pretty big changes that will affect these three riders. We previously talked about a new minimum combined weight that will be implemented starting next season. Said regulation was employed partly due to the deemed advantage smaller riders like Alvaro Bautista possessed. Meanwhile, we’ll be seeing Toprak switch to BMW, and Jonathan Rea move over to Yamaha.
