on a Kove, which has continued to compete in the new Sportbike class; in Supersport there is the presence of QJ Motor and ZXMoto; and it has been announced today that the WorldWCR series will be supplied by CFMoto from 2027, a manufacturer which has also been developing a WorldSBK project with its new V4 superbike.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt\u2019s a big change [the race in China] and especially it\u2019s something that has been growing through all these years, having Chinese manufacturers in the championship, winning the last World Supersport 300 championship by a Kove machine, this year the eruption especially of ZXMoto,\u201d WorldSBK executive director Gregorio Lavilla told the world feed broadcast during practice at Estoril.<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div
