Sam Lowes (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) will also take to the stage as he gears up for a second WorldSBK campaign, after an up-and-down maiden 2024 season.

Two-time WorldSBK Champion Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati) will also take to the stage, as will teammate Nicolo Bulega after his stellar rookie campaign. Kove’s Julio Garcia (KOVE Racing Team) and Marc Garcia, fresh from the former’s Jerez win, will also be there as well Britain’s Ryan Vickers (Team Motocorsa Racing) plus many others.

Elsewhere, 2024 WorldWCR runner-up Maria Herrera (Klint Forward Factory Team) will be at the show as well Daniel Mogeda (Team#109 Retro Traffic Kawasaki) and, from the team, after their race winning WorldSSP300 campaign. The paddock show will also have lots of interactive elements, as it does at the circuit, with games, presentations, quizzes and much more for WorldSBK fans to enjoy in Italy.
