ANA CARRASCO Returns to WorldSSP with Honda as Eight Manufacturers Battle

February 6, 2026

• The trailblazing ANA CARRASCO returns to WorldSSP for 2026 alongside teammate Corentin Perolari with Honda Racing World Supersport. While Honda competes in Challenge capacity rather than for the full championship, Perolari’s momentum-building 2025 finish—including back-to-back top-eight results and a WorldSSP Challenge title—gives the team genuine optimism that their CBR600RR-R can climb to new heights this season.
• Eight manufacturers have thrown their hats in the ring for 2026, creating the most diverse WorldSSP grid we’ve seen. From ZXMOTO’s maiden season debut with their SRK 820 to defending champions Yamaha looking to repeat their R9 success, every manufacturer brings compelling storylines. Ducati fields the largest contingent with 10 riders, while Triumph doubles their presence and Kawasaki pairs rookie Jeremy Alcoba with two-time champion Dominique Aegerter on the expanded ZX-6R 636.
• The grid represents a true manufacturer free-for-all, with Italian (Ducati, MV Agusta), Japanese (Yamaha, Kawasaki, Honda), Chinese (ZXMOTO, QJMOTOR), and British (Triumph) brands all vying for supremacy. This diversity promises unpredictable racing, as each platform brings different strengths—from Yamaha’s proven championship-winning R9 to ZXMOTO’s mysterious three-cylinder SRK 820 and everything in between.
