After shining in the last CIV Rounds, Alessandro Delbianco will finally have a chance to show off in World Superbike. The GRT team has in fact chosen the Rimini rider, bearer of the DMR Racing team in the premier class of the national championship, to replace the injured Dominique Aegerter in the next round at Magny-Cours.
Operated last Friday at the Bern hospital after suffering a shoulder injury and multiple intercostal fractures in a training accident, the 33-year-old Swiss will be forced to observe recovery times that will prevent him from returning to action this weekend at the French track. Where the experienced Delbianco will be the one to mount his R1.
A bike well known to "DB52," who has already scored two wins in the season with the Japanese bike in the ten races si disputed here. Even managing to beat Aegerter himself, denying him the victory in Race 2, on the occasion of the wilcard sustained in early August by the Swiss champion in the Racing Night of the tricolor championship.
The perfect business card for Alessandro with which to present himself on the World Championship grid and prove that he has all the credentials to deserve a full-time return. After the difficult experience in 2019 with the Honda of the Althea Racing team and the unfortunate wildcard sustained in 2022 with the Kawasaki fielded by Pedercini.
