French rider Sylvain Guintoli is so far without a ride for 2018, with all British Superbike and World Superbike berths signed and sealed for the year.

“I will be racing next year, I can say that,” the 2014 WSBK champ told MCN’s BSB reporter Oli Rushby. “I can’t say any more, but I’ll definitely be racing.”

Some are tipping the 35-year-old to switch to the World Endurance Championship, while others reckon a handful of MotoGP wildcards on board an Ecstar Suzuki might be more likely.
