MotoAmerica Superbike Cup Racer Danilo Lewis Returns to Brazil with Honda Repsol CB Racing. Two-time Brazilian champion and 2022 MotoAmerica Superbike Cup champion will compete in the November 6–8 MOTO1000GP round in Cascavel.
MotoAmerica Superbike Cup racer Danilo Lewis will return to Brazil to compete with Honda Repsol CB Racing / César Barros Racing Team in the GP1000 class of MOTO1000GP, November 6–8 at Autódromo Internacional Zilmar Beux in Cascavel, Paraná.
Lewis will step in for an injured rider aboard a Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, extending his 2026 season after closing the MotoAmerica championship with consecutive Superbike Cup victories at New Jersey Motorsports Park.
Those wins capped a strong finish to the year and helped Lewis secure third in the 2026 MotoAmerica Superbike Cup standings with 254 points.
“I’m really excited to have the opportunity to go back to Brazil and keep racing,” Lewis said. “We ended the MotoAmerica season with two wins and a lot of momentum, so being able to continue racing this year is really special. I’m grateful to César and the entire team for trusting me to step in, and I’m looking forward to being back on track in Brazil.”
- Returning to Brazilian National Competition
Lewis built the early part of his career in Brazil, where he became a two-time Brazilian national road racing champion in the premier 1000cc category before moving his racing career to the United States.
He later added another major title in 2022, winning the MotoAmerica Superbike Cup Championship with four victories and 14 podium finishes.
Lewis now returns to Brazilian national competition with several additional years of MotoAmerica experience, including racing within the full Superbike field against some of the top riders and teams in American road racing.
At Cascavel, he will compete in GP1000 by Motul, the premier class of the MOTO1000GP Brazilian National Road Racing Championship, aboard the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade.
