The current World Superbike champion, Álvaro Bautista, is ready to take on new challenges in his racing career. In a recent interview, the Spanish rider talked about his plans to test the Ducati DesmosediciGP bike from the MotoGP World Championship and the possibility of participating as a wild card in a Grand Prix.

Bautista, who has dominated the Superbike championship this season, expressed his interest in testing a MotoGP bike and experiencing the excitement that this category offers. Although he doesn't have immediate plans to compete as a wild card, he sees the test as a reward and an opportunity to explore new possibilities. The Spanish rider wants to see how he adapts to the bike and assess his skills in a different environment.

However, Bautista acknowledges that replicating Troy Bayliss' success in 2006, when he won the Valencia Grand Prix as a substitute for Sete Gibernau, would be a considerable challenge. While he admires Bayliss' achievement, the Spanish rider is focused on the Superbike World Championship and sees the test as an additional incentive in his career.

In addition to his future plans in MotoGP, Bautista also speculated about who could be his teammate in 2024. While he doesn't have specific preferences, he emphasized the importance of having a good relationship with his current teammate, Michael Ruben Rinaldi. However, he is also aware that many riders desire the opportunity to ride for Ducati. Bautista is confident that the team will make a difficult but wise decision in choosing the right teammate.

Meanwhile, the talented Spanish rider continues to dominate in the Superbike championship, facing challenges from rivals like Toprak Razgatlioglu, Jonathan Rea, and Andrea Locatelli. Bautista emphasizes the importance of precision, concentration, and minimizing errors to stay at the top. He is happy with the sensations he experiences on his bike and feels grateful for the support of his team.
