With Leon Haslam joining Honda after being axed at Kawasaki and Lowes duly filling that spot for 2020, only a handful of race seats remain open. BSB champion Scott Redding is set for his rookie World Superbike campaign as he replaces Alvaro Bautista at the factory Ducati team with the Spanish rider heading to Honda.
Marco Melandri is retiring from racing at the end of the 2019 World Superbike championship, while GRT Yamaha has revealed an all-new line-up of Federico Caricasulo and Garrett Gerloff.
The majority of World Superbike teams will begin winter testing for the 2020 season at Jerez in late November – five weeks after the 2019 season finale in Qatar at the Losail International Circuit on October 24-26.
The 13-round 2020 World Superbike championship gets underway at Phillip Island on February 28 - 1 March.
