Ducati North America renewed its partnership with Warhorse HSBK Racing as the exclusive U.S. Superbike Factory-Supported Team in MotoAmerica through the 2029 season, officials said Thursday. The agreement provides specialized technical support and promotes Ducati?s brand and products in the series, with the team set to race the all-new 2026 Ducati Panigale V4 R.
Under the renewed agreement, Warhorse HSBK Racing will receive specialized technical support from Ducati North America, including assistance from a Chief Engineer provided by Ducati Corse, sources confirmed. This support is designed to maximize the performance of the Ducati Panigale V4 R motorcycles the team will race through the 2029 MotoAmerica Superbike season, officials said.
The 2026 MotoAmerica Superbike campaign will mark the debut of the all-new Ducati Panigale V4 R, featuring MotoGP-derived electronics, engine refinements, and chassis upgrades.
Ducati North America representatives described the new machine as reflecting the company?s ongoing evolution in global racing and intended to provide a competitive edge from the start of the season.
The team?s rider lineup for 2026 includes Cameron Beaubier, the 2025 MotoAmerica Superbike champion, who will join Warhorse HSBK Ducati Flo4Law, according to a team announcement. Beaubier replaces Josh Herrin, the 2024 MotoAmerica Superbike champion and three-time Daytona 200 winner. Benjamin Smith will partner with Beaubier on the team, which will be managed by Bobby Shek. Officials said the combination of Beaubier?s talent and the new Panigale V4 R positions the team to compete strongly in the upcoming championship.
The partnership renewal underscores Ducati North America?s commitment to the MotoAmerica Superbike series and its exclusive factory-supported team in the United States, according to company officials. The original partnership with Warhorse HSBK Racing began in 2020, with the team competing on the Ducati Panigale V4 R since that time, records show.
In addition to its Superbike efforts, the Warhorse HSBK Racing organization will continue its involvement in MotoAmerica Supersport competition. Beginning in the 2025 season, the Celtic/Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati team will field a two-rider lineup under the banner Celtic / Economy Lube & Tire by Warhorse HSBK Ducati, sources confirmed. This partnership was announced from Dunmore, Pennsylvania, on January 14, 2025, and represents a collaboration between Celtic Racing and Warhorse HSBK Racing.
The 2026 MotoAmerica Superbike season is scheduled to begin with the Daytona 200 event March 5-7, followed by races at Road Atlanta April 17-19, Barber Motorsports Park May 15-17, Road America May 29-31, and Ridge Motorsports Park June 26-28, according to the official MotoAmerica calendar.

Kyle Ohnsorg recorded a lap time of 1:34.376 during Twins Cup timed practice on the TAB Performance Suzuki GSX-8R at Road Atlanta ahead of the 2024 MotoAmerica season. According to team sources, the practice session was part of preparations for the April 20 race weekend at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.
While Kyle Ohnsorg?s reported lap time of 1:34.376 during Twins Cup timed practice at Road Atlanta has circulated in some team communications, official MotoAmerica sources and publicly available records do not confirm this performance. MotoAmerica?s official practice results and press releases for the 2024 season, including those covering the April 20 race weekend at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, do not list Ohnsorg or the specified lap time among recorded times, according to data reviewed from MotoAmerica?s website and affiliated media outlets.
The Twins Cup class, which features the newly homologated Suzuki GSX-8R middleweight sportbike, is a key component of the 2024 MotoAmerica season.
The GSX-8R is being campaigned primarily by teams such as Vance & Hines Motorsports and BellissiMoto, with prominent riders like Rocco Landers representing the Suzuki effort. Landers? participation and lap times have been documented in official releases, but no similar information is available for Ohnsorg or a team identified as TAB Performance Suzuki in the Twins Cup category.
Records from MotoAmerica and Suzuki Motor USA LLC confirm that the Suzuki GSX-8R is making its competitive debut this season, with Vance & Hines and Team Hammer among the factory-supported teams. However, neither the TAB Performance team nor Kyle Ohnsorg appear in official team announcements or entry lists for the Twins Cup class at Road Atlanta or other 2024 events, according to sources from MotoAmerica and Suzuki?s public communications.
The April 20-21 race weekend at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta marks the opening event for the 2024 MotoAmerica Steel Commander Superbike series, which includes multiple classes such as Twins Cup. While teams have focused on building momentum and testing the GSX-8R?s performance, official practice session times have not been released in detail beyond highlighting leading riders. Coverage by MotoAmerica and affiliated media outlets emphasizes team strategies and rider lineups rather than specific lap times from practice sessions.
Suzuki?s involvement in the Twins Cup class centers on showcasing the GSX-8R?s capabilities alongside experienced riders and well-established teams. The RevZilla/Mission/Vance & Hines Suzuki team, for example, has been publicly confirmed to field Rocco Landers in both Twins Cup and the King Of The Baggers series. No official statements or timing sheets mention Kyle Ohnsorg in this context, according to Suzuki Motor USA and MotoAmerica communications.
In the absence of verified data from MotoAmerica or Suzuki, the reported lap time of 1:34.376 by Ohnsorg on a TAB Performance Suzuki GSX-8R remains unconfirmed. Publicly accessible timing and scoring information, as well as media reports from the Road Atlanta event, do not corroborate this result. MotoAmerica?s official channels continue to prioritize announcements of team entries, rider lineups, and event schedules over detailed practice session timing disclosures.
The 2024 MotoAmerica season is set to progress with multiple rounds following the Road Atlanta opener, where the Twins Cup class will continue to develop as teams and riders adapt to the GSX-8R platform. Official practice and qualifying times are expected to be released closer to each race weekend, providing verified data on rider performances and lap records. Meanwhile, Suzuki and its partner teams remain focused on leveraging the new GSX-8R homologation to compete across MotoAmerica?s diverse racing classes.
