  "account": "Brad Binder, who has spent his last seven seasons in MotoGP, has announced his move to the World Superbike Championship (WorldSBK) as the season concludes in San Marino. He will join former teammate Miguel Oliviera at the BMW factory WorldSBK team in 2027. Sven Blusch, head of BMW Motorrad Motorsport, expressed delight in welcoming Binder to the BMW family, praising his determination to secure a world championship title. Binder will need to adapt quickly to the BMW M1000 RR and the new championship format. Alongside Binder, Jack Miller and Franco Morbidelli are also expected to join WorldSBK. Nicolo Bulega, close to winning the 2026 Superbike crown, will move to MotoGP. Binder, currently 13th in the championship with 78 points, aims to avoid his worst season in the premier class, which was 11th in both 2020 and 2025. Moto3 rider Ruché Moodley will also be targeting his first points of the season at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, having returned from a shoulder injury earlier in the week.",
