Team GoEleven confirmed on 13 October that Lorenzo Baldassarri will remain its Ducati rider in the Superbike World Championship in 2027. The official WorldSBK announcement is more than a routine renewal: it rewards one of the season’s clearest career rebuilds.
The comeback behind the numbers
Baldassarri finished only 18th in the 2023 championship, with three 12th-place results as his best finishes. After spells in WorldSSP and MotoE, he returned to WorldSBK in 2026. He reached the podium on the opening weekend at Phillip Island and added another rostrum at Balaton Park.
After Estoril he sits sixth with 214 points, with the season finale beginning at Jerez on 16 October. BSR’s reading is that continuity made the difference: GoEleven did not reward one isolated result, but a rider who stayed consistently around the top ten.
