The PETRONAS MIE Honda racing team line up sees a new face in its WorldSBK wing, as Malaysian rider Zaqhwan Zaidi moves up from the MFJ All-Japan Road Racing Championship (JSB) and the Asian Superbike Championship. Another intriguing entry.

Now a vastly experienced WorldSBK rider Alex found himself the de facto lead runner in the KRT squad last year, after the departure of Jonathan Rea. On the new bimota KB998 this year? It feels like this effort is worthy of close attention.

Sendo um dos um pilotos mais experientes do WorldSBK, Alex tornou-se o líder efetivo da equipa KRT após a saída de Jonathan Rea, no ano passado. Mas como será com a novíssima bimota KB998 este ano? Parece que será um esforço digno de nota.

A equipa PETRONAS MIE Honda faz alinhar uma nova cara no WorldSBK, com o piloto malaio Zaqhwan Zaidi a ascender do campeonato nipónico MFJ All-Japan Road Racing (JSB) e do Campeonato Asiático de Superbike. Outra entrada intrigante.
