Phillip Island WorldSBK Round Up: Will The Ducati Whitewash Continue?

By Steve English | Tue, 04/Mar/2025 - 14:53

There is no better setting for Round 1 of the Superbike season than Phillip Island. With the Bass Strait dominating the horizon it offers a truly unique setting. It also all but guarantees that we’ll have classic battles with the drive to the line, a slipstreaming battle separated by thousands of a second...it was just a shame that Nicolo Bulega didn’t get the memo.

Toprak threatens to walk away from WorldSBK

As ever the WorldSBK paddock is centred around Toprak Razgatlioglu. Last year it was for his stunning championship winning upset. This year it’s because the Turkish star is upset.

Coming to Australia it was clear that BMW would be on the back foot. A late change, mid-January, in the regulations saw them unable to capitalise on their former Super Concession status and upgraded chassis parts. The change in regulations was small but incredibly significant; a manufacturer developing a new bike can only use Super Concessions if they are still eligible. In the past BMW would have been able to continue to use the upgrades with their new homologation.

2025 Phillip Island World Superbike Superpole Race Result: Third Sprint Of The Weekend

By Jared Earle | Sun, 23/Feb/2025 - 02:54

The first World Superbike sprint race seems like the third after a race split by a pit stop gave us two sprints yesterday. The weather is 21ºC and the track is cooler than yesterday. A headwind into turn one replaces yesterday's tailwind. Perfect conditions make beating Bulega tricky, but everyone has ten laps to try. The top nine grid positions for the last race of the weekend are determined by the results of this race.

2025 Phillip Island World Superbike Race One Result: Get Your Pit Stops Right

By Jared Earle | Sat, 22/Feb/2025 - 05:38

The opening World Superbike race would be two ten-lap sprint races glued together with a pit stop as the track is too abrasive for the Pirelli tyres. Pit intervention time, with a maximum of eleven laps allowed on the tyres, is sixty three seconds, with the penalty being five times the time you gained. The weather was a warm 35ºC and a hot track.
