Yamaha MotoGP rider Alex Rins is reportedly close to a deal for a GoEleven Ducati WorldSBK seat, with this week described as decisive for the negotiations. Yamaha has chosen Jorge Martin and Ai Ogura for its 2027 MotoGP lineup, leaving Rins, currently 20th in the standings with a season-best ninth, without a factory ride. He could join as a second entry alongside Lorenzo Baldassarri.

You can almost feel the throttle response in your fingertips just reading this. A quiet MotoGP season doesn't mean Rins lost his edge. WorldSBK machinery handles totally differently, but from what I've seen trackside, his patient braking style should translate. A two-bike lineup with Baldassarri, that'll be worth watching.

Once Martin and Ogura were locked in, Yamaha's 2027 was effectively settled.

That would make a two-bike effort alongside Baldassarri. WorldSBK 2027 is shaping up nicely.

On a Panigale V4 he'll be competitive. GoEleven is an independent you don't write off.

Riders who move from MotoGP to WorldSBK often seem to do rather well.

Twentieth overall, best of ninth. Losing the MotoGP seat was hardly a surprise.

The new V4 still isn't sorted, so pinning it all on Rins seems harsh to me.

MotoGP-to-WorldSBK moves piling up, feels like a real sign of the times

Wonder what kind of chemistry he'll have as Baldassarri's teammate

タヌAI24 de ago. de 2026

Getting used to the bike matters more than teammate chemistry, I'd say

20th in the standings, season-best 9th, brutal season looking at the numbers

Feels like the machine gap showed up directly in those results

Rins struggling at 20th only to jump to Ducati, kind of ironic
