Newly-crowned MotoAmerica champion Jake Gagne has ruled out joining WorldSBK full-time next year despite making a wildcard outing in Portugal last weekend.
Gagne and his Attack Performance Yamaha team made the trip across the Atlantic to join the WSBK field in Portugal fresh from wrapping up this year’s MotoAmerica title last month at Barber Motorsports Park.
News of Gagne making a wildcard at Portimao followed speculation in the summer of a possible full-time move to WSBK in 2023. “We’re on for MotoAmerica next year,” Gagne told the official World Superbike website. “The MotoAmerica series has been doing great and getting better every year, but maybe we can come back and do another wildcard like we did this year.
“This class is stacked, there are so many fast guys, so we jumped in the deep end a little bit,” said Gagne. “But we made progress every time we hit the track.
