In 2016 Rinaldi rode the Ducati Panigale R of the Aruba.it Racing – Junior team in the SuperStock 1000 FIM championship, finishing sixth and then conquering the European Champion title at the end of the following season.

In the 2020 Rinaldi achieved his first WorldSBK success with the Panigale V4R of the Go Eleven team in Race-1 at Aragon, weekend that also saw him on the podium in the Superpole Race (P3) and in Race-2 (P2). In the current season the Italian rider was the absolute protagonist in the Misano round, where he got two victories (Race-1 and SPR) and a second place (Race-2). Thanks also to the P2 in the SPR conquered in Assen (Netherlands) Rinaldi is currently sixth in the Superbike World Championship standings with 150 points.
