Zhang Xue responds to driver withdrawal: preliminary investigation shows engine oil pressure dropped.

In the second round of the WorldSSP category at the Hungarian round of the 2026 World Superbike Championship, the French rider Valentin Derbys of the Chinese motorcycle manufacturer Zhang Xue's team retired. That evening, Zhang Xue posted a video response on social media: "It's a pity that we had to retire in the first lap of the race. I just communicated with the crew up front and it was due to a mechanical failure. Preliminary investigation showed that the oil pressure in the engine dropped. Further analysis is needed to determine the deeper reasons." He said, "That's just how racing is, the bikes are always under extreme conditions. Every brand can encounter these kinds of problems."
