The Warhorse HSBK Ducati Flo4Law team is charging into the 2026 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship with one of the most formidable rosters in recent history. The announcement of Cameron Beaubier, fresh off his 2025 Superbike title, who is replacing 3 time Daytona 200 winner and 2024 MotoAmerica Superbike Champion, Josh Herrin, is joining forces with Benjamin Smith, marks a rousing new chapter for Ducati’s U.S. racing ambitions.
The team is also debuting the all-new 2026 Ducati Panigale V4 R, a machine bristling with MotoGP-derived electronics, engine refinements, and chassis upgrades that reflect Ducati’s evolution in the global racing arena. Backed by the powerhouse partnership of Ducati North America and Flo4Law, and managed by the seasoned hands of Bobby Shek, the Warhorse HSBK Ducati Flo4Law team is aiming to dominate from the drop of the first green flag in April at Road Atlanta.

Warhorse HSBK Ducati Flo4Law: The Riders to Watch
Cameron Beaubier needs no introduction. A six-time national champion and reigning 2025 MotoAmerica Superbike Champion, Beaubier brings unmatched experience, calculated aggression, and championship pedigree to the team. His move to Ducati signals a shift in the competitive landscape—and a potential repeat title run now dressed in red.
“I’m really excited to join the Warhorse HSBK Ducati Flo4Law and to race the new Panigale V4 R,” said Beaubier. “I’ve watched what Ducati has accomplished globally in Superbike and MotoGP, and I can’t wait to bring that same performance and passion to the American championship.”
“We’re thrilled to welcome Cameron to the team and look forward to the results we will get together,” said Bobby Shek, Team Manager, Warhorse HSBK Ducati Flo4Law. “With his talent and experience, combined with the performance of the new V4 R, we’re confident we can fight for another championship from day one.”
Alongside Beaubier is Benjamin Smith, who returns to racing after cutting his teeth in the Supersport class and debuting in Superbike back in 2023. Smith brings youth and hunger to the Warhorse team. With Beaubier’s mentorship and the V4 R under him, Smith could emerge as one of the season’s most exciting dark horses.
