Injured Beaubier to miss Ridge as Baz steps in for Ducati

Warhorse HSBK Ducati Flo4Law said Loris Baz will replace injured Cameron Beaubier for round five of the 2026 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship at Ridge Motorsports Park, scheduled for June 26-28. Beaubier, the defending champion, crashed in Race One at Road America and sustained a shoulder injury that kept him out for the rest of the weekend. He is set to undergo surgery before beginning rehabilitation.

Baz previously raced for Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati in the 2021 and 2024 MotoAmerica seasons and earned multiple podium finishes during those runs. Before he returns to competition, he will complete private testing with the team on the Ducati Panigale V4 R. The team said Baz is familiar with the bike platform.

Warhorse HSBK Ducati Flo4Law said it expects and hopes to have Beaubier back once he is medically cleared. Baz's appearance at Ridge will mark his race debut on the current version of the Ducati Panigale V4 R.
