Warhorse HSBK Ducati Flo4Law has announced that Loris Baz will return to the team, debuting at round five of the 2026 Quad Lock Superbike Championship at Ridge Motorsports Park on June 26-28, as a fill-in rider for injured defending champion Cameron Beaubier.

Beaubier sustained a shoulder injury during a crash in race one at Road America, the most-recent MotorAmerica round, and he was unable to compete for the remainder of the weekend. Following a medical evaluation, Beaubier will undergo surgery and begin rehabilitation immediately. Warhorse HSBK Ducati Flo4Law and Ducati North America wish Beaubier a successful recovery and look forward to welcoming him back to competition as soon as possible.

To continue its championship effort, the team has called on Loris Baz. The Frenchman previously raced for Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati during the 2021 and 2024 MotoAmerica seasons, earning multiple podium finishes and establishing himself as a fan favorite aboard the Ducati Panigale V4 R.

Before making his race debut on the current Ducati Panigale V4 R, Baz will complete private testing with the team to prepare for his return to MotoAmerica.

“First of all, I want to wish Cam a speedy and complete recovery,” Baz said. “I’ve been through a lot of injuries myself, so I know how difficult it is to be sidelined and watch someone else ride your bike.

“I’m incredibly grateful to the Warhorse HSBK Ducati Flo4Law team, Ducati North America, and all of the team’s sponsors for giving me this opportunity. Coming back to this team means a lot to me. We shared so many great memories together over two seasons, and I’ve always considered this team family.

“It’s great knowing that I’m not walking into a completely new environment. I know the team and the people, and I know how hard they’ve been working on the bikes. I’m excited to finally get on the new Ducati Panigale V4 R. I’ve been wanting to get the chance to race it ever since its launch.

“I’m ready. I’ve been riding, testing, and training, just waiting for the right opportunity. My goal is to help the team score as many points as possible, enjoy being back on the grid, and give it my all. I’m extremely thankful for the opportunity and can’t wait to get on the bike on Friday at Ridge Motorsports Park.”

The 2026 Quad Lock MotoAmerica Superbike Championship resumes June 26-28 at Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, Washington.
