Some teams and riders from the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship have opted to stay in Italy for the time being and complete a two-day test at the Cremona Circuit. The new-for-WorldSBK venue is scheduled to host its first round in September and, after a test in May, a handful of teams from both WorldSBK and WorldSSP have tested there again ahead of the inaugural round there later this year.

The times on Day 1 were topped by Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team), whose 1’28.578s was almost a whole second quicker than Axel Bassani (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) in second. The #54’s time was also around three tenths faster than that set by Remy Gardner (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team) in the May test, when the #87 posted a 1’28.860s. In WorldSSP, Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team) was the pacesetter with a 1’32.579s. There will be more track action on Thursday.
