There will also be a high number of Brits riding during the WSS series. Gino Rea, Sam Lowes, Chaz Davies and James Ellison will be getting home track advantage at the two Brittish rounds at Donnington Park and Silverstone.
France, Australia, Hungary, and Rusia will all have two riders on the grid. Florian Marino and Fabien Foret for France, Broc Parkes and Mitchell Pirotta for Australia, Balasz Nemeth and Imre Toth for Hungary, and Eduard Blokhin and Oleg Pozdneev for Russia.
