The starting grid for the 2020 WSBK version is not yet set. It is therefore missing the rider who will ride with the second motorcycle of a Ten Kate team which is writing a new chapter in its history with Yamaha. After recounting most of his adventure with Honda. We know that the one with whom this renewal was sealed will still be there in 2020 with the Dutch. This is Loris Baz. Next year, he will have a teammate...
The sign Ten Kate will no longer have one but two Yamaha R1s to offer on the grid of the WSBK in 2020. Who will this second driver be? In all likelihood, this is the name of Sandro Cortese which should come out of the hat in the coming days.
The German, former Moto3 World Champion on KTM, lost his handlebars to the unprecedented American gerloff. For a moment, we thought he would take a place on the Barni team's Ducati before we saw him as a successor toAlex Marquez at Marc VDS for Moto2. But we know the rest, and Cortese has learned that he will no longer return to Grand Prix by accepting the commitment ofAugusto Fernández.
He now has this Yamaha Ten Kate as his teammate. Loris Baz. Cortese is currently recovering from shoulder surgery in early November, following the fall he suffered at the Donington weekend. According to GPOne, the negotiation between the driver and the team must result in a decision within the first ten days of December, so that they can then find themselves in the starting blocks with the Jerez test scheduled for next January.
