Former MotoGP rider Jonas Folger says he is ‘ready to put in a good performance’ ahead of his keenly anticipated WorldSBK Championship debut at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya amid rumours he is in the running for a full-time switch in 2021.

Folger made his MotoGP debut in 2017 with Tech 3 Yamaha before being sidelined for an extended period of time with the fatigue-inducing Gilbert’s Syndrome, but has returned to full-time competition in 2020 with a campaign in the German-based IDM Superbike series with the promise of wildcard WorldSBK outings too.

As such, he will get his WorldSBK bow in Spain this weekend with the same Team Benovo Action by MGM Racing Yamaha team he races in Germany with. As it stands, he is currently on the cusp of the 2020 IDM Superbike title with a perfect six wins from six races, with only one event remaining.
