What do you want to know about World Superbikes?
Added 2025-07-03 10:28:49 +0000 UTCRoving reporter Ollie is back on the road soon, heading for the Donington Park round of the World Superbike Championship.
He'll be gathering material for some special episodes of The Race MotoGP Podcast and website content, plus - of course - bonuses for all of you on Patreon.
We're particularly keen to hear from those of you who DON'T currently follow WSBK in-depth but are interested in it, perhaps in particular with its big star Toprak Razgatlioglu heading for MotoGP and current championship leader Nicolo Bulega poised to potentially follow him a year later.
Let us know your questions about any aspect of WSBK, its riders or where it sits in relation to MotoGP, and we'll try to answer whatever we can within our upcoming content.

Can you explain where WSBK is in the 'pecking order' of world series as such? If motogp is an equivalent of F1 in bikes, is WSBK an equivalent to Indycar say so in essence motogp is the only series that's at an undisputed higher level? Are the only bikes that are faster and more powerful than this the motogp bikes or are there other series in between the two eg the FIM EWC?

2025-07-08 00:05:08 +0000 UTC1. How is WorldSBK going to stay, for want of a better phrase, ‘relevant’ if it’s huge star of the last 5 years is leaving, with no clear fan favourite left? I know if it can get a top MotoGP rider like Miller or Oliveira it will certainly help, but the Toprak hole feels like a massive one that’ll take years to fill. 2. Is Liberty Media gaining ownership of WSBK too, and if do you think there will be as big a push for promotion of this championship as there will be for MotoGP? 3. Could WorldSBK learn a thing or two from the MotoGP satellite teams and how they operate so closely with their factory teams - I’m thinking Honda, Yamaha for instance, why aren’t they seizing the opportunity to pull in their satellite teams to work much closer, so development is easier/faster? 4. WorldSBK can race at Donnington. Why can’t MotoGP? 5. Are we going to see BMW or Kawasaki put in a MotoGP team soon, or opposingly, are we going to see an Aprillia/KTM WorldSBK team any tjme soon?
