Jake Dixon’s participation in the recent Aragón WorldSBK race weekend marked another positive step in his recovery, but despite encouraging progress, he needs to maximise the next phase of his functional rehabilitation programme during the four weeks before Donington Park.
Jake will therefore not take part in the upcoming Pirelli Emilia Romagna WorldSBK round on 12–14 June.
Honda BSB rider Ryan Vickers, who competed as a wildcard in the opening round of the 2026 WorldSBK Championship in Australia, will replace Dixon at Misano and partner Somkiat Chantra in the Honda HRC team garage.
