GALLERY: WorldSBK and WorldSSP stars take to the stunning Australian coast in epic event ahead of Round 1
Several riders from both Championships swapped the racetrack for boats to explore the beautiful Australian coastline
The MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship paddock is gearing up for the start of the 2025 season which promises to be unforgettable. Between the Official Test and the start of the Australian Round, six riders from WorldSBK and WorldSSP swapped their bikes for boats and ventured out onto the water for a different type of exhilarating ride. Home heroes Oli Bayliss (PTR Triumph Factory Racing) and Luke Power (Motozoo ME air Racing) were accompanied by WorldSBK race winner Andrea Iannone (Team Pata GoEleven) and podium finishers Garrett Gerloff (Kawasaki WorldSBK Team) and Dominique Aegerter (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team), as well as rookie Bahattin Sofuoglu (Yamaha Motoxracing WorldSBK Team). Check out how well they got on with their water-based adventure as they toured Cape Woolamai in high-speed inflatable catamaran boats, before heading for a seafood lunch in the gallery at the top of this page!
