SCHEDULE: Times announced for the final preseason testing events at Phillip Island!

Friday, 14 February 2025 07:35 GMT

The final two days of testing will be held days before the Australian Round at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit

The 2025 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship campaign is right around the corner and riders are raring for lights out! The final two days of preseason testing will be held just days before Round 1’s race weekend at Australia’s Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit. These testing days in particular will be an important opportunity for the teams to continue to test new parts and build confidence with their packages especially as the SBK Commission have introduced new regulations for this season, and the prior testing windows at Jerez and Portimao were limited by rainy weather conditions. The testing will follow the same two-day format and will be held on Monday and Tuesday ahead of Friday morning’s Free Practice 1. For World Supersport riders, testing will begin at 9:10 a.m. (local time GMT +11) and run for just shy of two hours until 11 a.m. For WorldSBK riders, testing starts shortly after, beginning at 11:10 a.m. and running until 13:10. After a short lunch break, testing will resume for the same hour and 50-minute blocks, with WorldSSP starting at 13:40, and WorldSBK starting at 15:40. Tuesday will follow the same format and times, however WorldSBK and WorldSSP will swap times, meaning WorldSBK testing will take place in the earlier windows which WorldSSP tested during on Monday.
