AXEL BASSANI

OFFICIAL PROGRAMME

Bassani was rated as a good rider until he was the somewhat surprising pick for the Motocorsa Ducati team’ s foray into WorldSBK in 2021. Axel would become the top Independent Rider before joining KRT in 2024. This is year two for him in the BbKRT squad.

Bassani era considerado um piloto promissor antes de ser inesperadamente selecionado pela equipa Motocorsa Ducati para a sua estreia no WorldSBK, em 2021. Ele emergiu como o melhor piloto independente antes de se juntar à equipa KRT em 2024. Este é o seu segundo ano com a Bimota Kawasaki Racing Team.
