Alex Rins Eyes WorldSBK Move as Top Option for 2027

With few competitive MotoGP seats available, 30-year-old Alex Rins is now weighing a move to WorldSBK as his leading option for 2027. His camp is in talks with independent Ducati squad Go Eleven about fielding a second Panigale V4, a bike alone estimated at roughly €300,000, while the team is also negotiating a contract renewal with Lorenzo Baldassarri, complicating the situation.

A rider as fast as Rins not finding a seat in MotoGP is a strange feeling, coming from someone who's lived in that paddock. But if he does land in WorldSBK, he'll show what the Panigale can do from corner entry to exit. This seat battle with Baldassarri has genuinely become one worth following closely.

Rins on a Panigale, just imagining it makes me want to see it happen.

Moving because there's no MotoGP seat left, that pattern never really changes.

€300,000 for one Panigale, that's a brutal number for a privateer team.

With Baldassarri's sponsor situation in play too, this isn't a simple transfer story.

If Rins really comes to WorldSBK, Bautista and Toprak should be a little worried.

I never quite know how big the level gap actually is between WorldSBK and MotoGP.
