In the upcoming World Supersport season, 32 riders will compete for Championship glory, with participants in the WorldSSP Challenge focusing exclusively on the European rounds.
Adding to the excitement, the grid sees the inclusion of a new manufacturer, as Chinese outfit QJ Motor joins esteemed names such as Ducati, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Triumph, and MV Agusta for the upcoming year.
Aussies Oli Bayliss and Tom Edwards will both race with the D34G Racing WorldSSP Team in 2024, 20-year-old Bayliss gearing up for his second season with the squad led by former WorldSBK rider Davide Giugliano. 22-year-old Edwards from Wellington, in New South Wales, will tackle the WorldSSP Challenge following his debut season last year on different machinery and three years (2018-2020) spent in the WorldSSP300 category.
Oli Bayliss
“I’m very excited to be racing for Team D34G Racing again. I feel like last year I didn’t get to show my speed due to some injuries and unlucky moments. I really enjoyed being with these guys and I’m happy to be going around the clock one more time to show how fast we can be. A big thank you to all of my sponsors, supporters and the whole D34G Racing for giving me this opportunity.”
Tom Edwards
“I’m really looking forward to this next chapter in my career. It’s a really exciting opportunity to be joining the D34G team and to work under the leadership of Davide. The team has a lot of experience and have shown just how competitive they can be. Really grateful to Davide for backing me and giving me this opportunity. I’m really confident together we will see consistent strong results. Really excited to ride the V2, I think this bike will really suit my riding style. It’ll be great to have Oli as my team mate too, think we might be the first Aussie teammates in SuperSport which is pretty cool. Going be a huge year, can’t wait for the season to get started.”
The 2024 WorldSSP300 grid is set to undergo significant changes in its line-up, with the recently revealed permanently provisional entry list featuring 32 riders.
