World Superbike move “not a thing” for Moto2 winner Dixon despite “interest”

Britain’s Jake Dixon says he “had interest” from World Superbike teams for 2024 but “it’s not a thing” he is considering as “my dream” remains a MotoGP move.

Dixon came to Moto2 in 2019 having previously been a race winner in British Superbikes, and scored his maiden grand prix victory at the Dutch GP in June.

Over the MotoGP summer break, he became linked with a potential step to the premier class and thinks “there’s still a couple of options” for him, despite the available rides already being earmarked for others.

In the frame for a Gresini MotoGP ride, Dixon has prioritised staying in Moto2 with Aspar should that not come to fruition and currently has no interest moving to WSBK.

Asked by Autosport ahead of the British GP if MotoGP was a realistic option for 2024, Dixon said: “I don’t know. I think there are still a couple of options.

“At the end of the day, my dream is to go to MotoGP and be there. But, it needs to be right and I need to be given the opportunity.

“If I get given one opportunity to go, I’ll show what I can do. But if I’m not to go there…. I had interest in World Superbikes, but it’s not a thing [for me].
