2017 World Supersport champion Lucas Mahias leaves the Yamaha fold to join Kawasaki Puccetti Racing, while changing his racing number from #144 to #44, while a host of former riders from the Grand Prix paddock arrive in the category full-time this year including Isaac Vinales (Kallio Racing Yamaha), Jules Danilo (CIA Landlord Insurance Honda) and Hector Barbera (Team Toth Yamaha).
The CIA Landlord Insurance Honda squad still has one race seat left to be confirmed to complete the 25-rider grid which includes just two riders contesting the European Supersport Cup in Xavier Navand (DK Motorsport Yamaha) and Gaetan Matern (Flembbo Leader Team Kawasaki).
