By David Emmett | Wed, 05/Mar/2025 - 20:24

The switch of tire suppliers will take place when MotoGP changes to the new technical regulations featuring 850cc engines, no ride-height and holeshot devices, and much greater restrictions on aerodynamics.

2025 Phillip Island World Supersport Race One Result: Mandatory Pit Stops Make For Mandatory Entertainment

By Jared Earle | Sat, 22/Feb/2025 - 04:07

World Supersport opens the racing for 2025, with Yamaha replacing the R6 with a 890cc triple, the R9. Stefano Manzi is the only rider from the top three last year to be competing this year. The track is so abrasive on tyres that there is a mandated pitstop and a ten lap limit on tyres in the eighteen lap race. A minimum of 78 seconds must be taken in the pit stop, with the time cut multiplied by five as a penalty where applicable.

2025 Portimão WorldSBK January Test Day 2 Times: Rain Disrupts Testing

By David Emmett | Wed, 29/Jan/2025 - 17:44

The weather has not looked kindly on testing for the WorldSBK series so far in 2025. After a windy but relatively dry day on Tuesday, testing on Wednesday was mostly wet, with only occasional dry spells. Even when the track was dry, the times were 1.6 seconds off Toprak Razgatlioglu's best time.

As a result, nine of the 21 WorldSBK riders who rode on Tuesday decided to sit out the Wednesday session and save their testing days, while Philipp Oettl was the only WorldSSP rider of the six who rode on Tuesday to take to the track on Wednesday.
