Brad Binder will change direction in 2027 and move from MotoGP to WorldSBK with BMW. For the German manufacturer, it is a high-profile addition, as it brings in a rider already proven at the very top of motorcycle racing.
The move also adds intrigue to the Superbike rider market, which is increasingly attracting MotoGP names. For Binder, it is a fresh technical and sporting challenge, with the aim of being competitive quickly on production-based machinery.
