GET TICKETS: 10 reasons why you can’t miss being trackside at Jerez!
The season finale is fast approaching and with several titles still on the line, there are plenty of reasons to be excited for Jerez
The 2024 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship moves from Estoril to the Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto for Round 12 of the season. The Prometeon Spanish Round hosts the season finale and there are still four titles to be decided in the south of Spain, so don’t miss out on any of the upcoming thrilling action and get your tickets HERE. Here are 10 reasons why you should head to Jerez this weekend.
WORLD SUPERBIKE’S TITLE FIGHT: taken to the last round
While it seems likely Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) will be crowned Champion at Jerez, it’s a title-deciding final round and anything can happen. Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati) is the only rider who can stop the #54 and he’s sure to put up as much of a fight as possible.
HUERTAS VS MANZI: another decider
In WorldSSP, it’s advantage to Adrian Huertas (Aruba.it Racing WorldSSP Team) with a 45-point lead over Stefano Manzi (Pata Prometeon Ten Kate Racing) in second, with 50 available. Mathematically, the Italian rider can take the title but needs two wins and for Huertas to score a maximum of four points. Still, it’s another title that will be decided in Jerez.
THREE-WAY CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT: WorldSSP300 goes to the wire
Three riders can win the WorldSSP300 title: Aldi Mahendra (Team BrCorse), Loris Veneman (MTM Kawasaki) and Inigo Iglesias (Fusport-RT Motorsports by SKM-Kawasaki). 32 points separate the three riders and, given WorldSSP300’s unpredictable nature, anything can, and surely will, happen.
CARRASCO VS HERRERA: the last stages of an intense 2024 rivalry
Ana Carrasco (Evan Bros Racing Yamaha Team) leads the WorldWCR standings by 18 points heading into Jerez, with Maria Herrera (Klint Forward Factory Team) in second. Their rivalry has ignited in recent rounds and with the title on the line at Jerez, it could go up a notch. Of course, Sara Sanchez (511 Terra&Vita Racing Team) is also in mathematical contention, although needs a lot of luck to go her way.
THE LOCATION: a beautiful part of the world
Jerez is situated in Andalusia in the south of Spain, and it is a beautiful place. Not far from the stunning Sevilla, there’s plenty of history in the Sherry-making region and something for everyone to make it a key part of your Jerez visit.
JEREZ AS A CITY: a must-visit
Jerez de la Frontera is an incredible city to visit, with an old quarter that is the envy of a lot of historic cities. Complete with churches, palaces, museums, and plenty of monuments, staying in Jerez for your visit will complete the weekend.
THE PADDOCK SHOW: entertainment guaranteed
Based in the heart of the paddock, the WorldSBK Paddock Show is the place for all your off-track entertainment. Interactive games and question-and-answer sessions mean fans can get close to their favourite riders in a more casual setting.
PODIUM CELEBRATIONS: joined by the fans
The podium celebrations in all four categories will take place at the Paddock Show, putting fans in the best position to see the celebrations take place. Of course, with titles still to be decided, the podiums could be even more special with Championships being honoured too.
2023 REVISITED: an epic fight for victory…
Of course, things have changed in a year with Razgatlioglu moving to BMW, but last year’s Spanish Round gave us one of the best WorldSBK races of all time. He and Bautista overtook each other 39 times… and 38 of those came in the second half of the race. Re-watch their epic battle HERE. Will there be another unmissable scrap this year?
SEASON FINALE ATMOSPHERE: end of year vibes
While there’s plenty still on the line at Jerez, it’s also going to be a party atmosphere as thousands of fans gather across the weekend to watch four classes provide elbows-out action. You won’t want to miss out on an incredible atmosphere in Spain.
