OUTSPOKEN AHEAD OF PHILLIP ISLAND: an awesome Australian finale awaits Thursday, 17 November The last dance of 2022, the final roll of the dice before WorldSBK packs up after another stunning year of racing The sun is setting on the 2022 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship season, although dawn is only just breaking on the final round of the season. It feels good to declare that WorldSBK has touched down in Australia at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit for the Grand Ridge Brewery Australian Round, after a year off the calendar. For the final time in 2022, the media room on Thursday was awash with bold statements, of which you can find the hottest ones below! Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati): “We tried to celebrate as much as we could!” “Basically, we tried to celebrate as much as we could. We had a team dinner on Sunday night, some beer, the guys from the team and not only me. After that, a lot of flights to come here so not a lot of time to celebrate in a good way. In any case, the important thing is we got the title and after this weekend we have more time to celebrate with my friends, my family. We have to keep focused to the last race of the weekend, to keep working here like we did in the rest of the rounds. After this, we have more time to celebrate! “This weekend, I think, is more important than everybody thinks because they say it’s the last round, you have to be relaxed, you already won the title… but, for me, it’s important because all the data, all the good feelings we can get from this weekend, will be very important for next season because it’ll be the first round of 2023. We’ll try to be focused, try to get all the data possible, try to have as much performance as we can because it’ll be important to start next season as strong as possible.” Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK): “I’m really excited as it’s like a second home race… we’ll have winter testing and try new parts!” “I’m really excited as it’s like a second home race, with my wife being born in the town here. We spend a lot of time here; it feels strange getting out of my own bed and going to the circuit. It’s an iconic track, full of challenges; the fast and flowing nature of the corners make it one that all riders love, and it brings a lot of excitement with fourth and fifth gear corners. Being so cool, lap times will be faster as we put a lot of energy into the tyre at Phillip Island; high temperatures create more spinning with the tyres and more tyre consumption, so with more grip and potentially less spinning, the tyre should last longer, and the times should be faster. Friday is meant to be a good temperature whereas Saturday and Sunday could be anything. It’s nice that we get to revisit Phillip Island so fast after the last round with it starting in 2023. Of course, between now and then, we’ll have winter testing and try new parts and items before coming back down in more summer-like weather.” Toprak Razgatlioglu (Pata Yamaha with Brixx WorldSBK): “It’s been a good season… I improved my riding” “I’m happy to come back to Australia and Phillip Island; I have good memories of this track, back in 2020 on my Yamaha debut when we won! This year will be very difficult as Alvaro will be very strong and also Jonny. I remember in 2019, Alvaro was very strong with Ducati, but we’ll see as this year is different and we’ll fight with him. When we start on Friday, we’ll check the tyres as we have two new ones this weekend. Last weekend was unbelievable for me, to win everything; we’re very strong at Mandalika but this circuit will be more difficult, because we need to manage the rear tyre through the race. Maybe, the new Pirelli tyres are better than before and the feeling will be better, so we can fight with Alvaro. With the weather, it looks like it could rain, but it also looks like more fighting with Alvaro and Jonny! It’s been a good season and I’m very happy. In the second half of the season, we came back very strong, we improved the bike, and I also improved my riding. For 2023, I’ve already started training and we’ll quickly start working for next year.” Scott Redding (BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team): “From what I remember two years ago, tyre wear was a big factor” “It’s definitely easier than melting on the grid! The track temperature in Indonesia was 60 degrees plus and I was just so hot, especially on the grid. We were using fans and it was actually hotter. It was worse. We come here and we’ve got different track conditions and it’s colder than when we were here a couple of years ago. We’ll do the same thing: figure what’s working with the tyres, keep an eye on track temperature and see what’s favouring which tyres. From what I remember two years ago, tyre wear was a big factor, so we need to consider that. Indonesia was the same thing, we had to be quite smart with the tyres. I hope we can work in that way and figure out what’s best. It’s quite a different track compared to what we’ve been to and also the weather. We’ve got wind normally and a colder track, which should suit me a little bit more so hopefully we can have a good weekend.” Eugene Laverty (Bonovo Action BMW): “This is where it all started, this is where it’s all coming to an end” “This is where it all started as I had my first WorldSBK race here and this is where it’s all coming to an end. I have my favourite tracks on the calendar and Portimao is one but like most riders, this is another one. I’ve really enjoyed the track as it’s so fast and flowing, also in testing. I really enjoy the natural layout of the track. This is where I got my last win in 2014 and also my first WorldSBK race here in 2011; they’re great memories that I have here. If I had to pick one memory on the spot right now, then it’d probably be the last win here in 2014 because I think I was tenth at the first corner and then ripped through the field! Similar to what Alvaro did in 2019, I just cleared off and it was one of those incredible days and one of the easiest wins I ever had.” Oli Bayliss (BARNI Spark Racing Team): “If I can be in the top five, I’ll be quite happy!” “I’m excited and happy to be at home! It’s been a long year, pretty good and pretty bad but mainly good. To finish the year off at my home circuit, hopefully I can get a good result. At the tracks we did a test, it was more where I took the training bike, like at Magny-Cours and Misano, it really helped. So, at a circuit I’ve done a lot of laps at like Phillip Island, it can be like those weekends. I’ve had a couple of top ten results this year but if I can be in the top five, I’ll be quite happy. I think I’m being a bit realistic; we rode here on the training bike at the start of the year and the times were quite fast and consistent. If we can put that over to this weekend, then I think we’ll be in a good place.”

TYRE TALK: Pirelli reveals development rear solutions for Australia, no SCQ or SCX tyre available Thursday, 17 November 2022 Tyre manufacturer Pirelli have brought dedicated development solutions to Phillip Island for the 2022 season finale As the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship makes the small hop from Indonesia to Australia for the Grand Ridge Brewery Australian Round at the iconic Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, Pirelli have announced their solutions for the season finale. Two new medium compounds are the choices for the rear tyres while riders will not be able to utilise either the SCQ or SCX tyre during the round as Pirelli have opted not to bring it. Riders can choose from three rear tyres throughout the weekend, with one standard and two development solutions. The standard is the SC0 solution and will be the softest tyre available in Australia, however its use is limited to the Tissot Superpole and Tissot Superpole Race sessions. For the longer Race 1 and Race 2, two development SC1 solutions are available. The A1126 has a more robust structure in comparison to the standard SC1 and is designed for higher temperatures, while the B0152 has the same compound as the A1126 but has a further evolution for the structure. Neither the SCX tyre nor the SCQ tyre are available in Australia. For the front tyres, there will be three options available and all are from the soft compound range. The standard SC1 is available and is joined by two development solutions, the A0674 and A0843. Both development solutions have been used for the front tyre before, with the A0843 tyre making its debut at Assen and being used at several circuits throughout the year. The A0674 has been a frequent race winner throughout 2022 with riders and teams knowing both development solutions. In WorldSSP, there are two rear development solutions available to riders as well. Both are SC1 compounds, but riders and teams will be able to pick from the A1128, which has the same compound as the standard SC1 but a more robust structure, and the B0625 which is also the same compound as the standard SC1 but a different structure when compared to the A1128. For the front tyre, riders can choose from two standard solutions: the SC1 or the SC2. Giorgio Barbier, Motorcycle Racing Director at Pirelli, said: “The last WorldSBK round of the year also represents the biggest challenge for us. In fact, the Phillip Island track is recognised, not only by us but by all tyre companies, as one of the most aggressive and difficult for tyres, due to its particular old-style layout which makes it one of a kind. It is one of the very few motorcycle circuits that has not undergone any changes in all these years; it has remained the same for over half a century and this contributes to its great charm. Due to its uniqueness, it is not a track that can be tackled with standard solutions, especially at the rear which is the most stressed axle. Development tyres must be used, designed almost ad hoc for this track. In both World Superbike and World Supersport there will be two new rear solutions in medium compound with structures sturdier than the standard ones. Usually this is the opening round of the season and we race there in February. We've never been there in November, so temperatures and weather could add another variable to an already very tricky track.”

Rea remains top in WorldSBK on Day 1, Japanese sensation Nagashima P6 on debut Friday, 18 November 2022 It was a busy opening day of Phillip Island’s return to WorldSBK, with massive stories and momentous surprises in the leading positions After more than two years away, the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship was back on track at a true classic battleground. The Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit closes off the season as the Grand Ridge Brewery Australian Round returns and under blissfully sunny skies, FP2 rounded out the opening day of action. Topping the timesheets come the conclusion of the day, Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) enjoyed an emphatic first day back at his “second home round” of the year, with a tenth of a second advantage in his pocket. REA ON FIRE: is the win drought FINALLY going to end? It was a strong opening day for Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK), who topped FP1 before setting a solid race pace on Friday afternoon. The six-time World Champion, likewise a six-time race winner at Phillip Island, has the aim to try and put his win drought to an end this weekend at a circuit he’s always performed well in the past. Leaving it until the last couple of minutes to push for a top time, Rea finished top on the overall times, with a tenth of a second advantage. Teammate Alex Lowes was also on the pace at a track he won at in 2020, finishing fourth in FP1 before improving his time in FP2 to end the day in… BAUTISTA STRONG IN SECOND: 2019 V2 incoming on Saturday, Toprak in trouble? Newly-crowned World Champion Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) was right on the money throughout the course of the opening day and having been just 0.022s off Rea in FP1 despite a fall at Turn 4, he consolidated his position in the afternoon. The Spaniard dominated on his Ducati debut in 2019 for a magical hat-trick, whilst he was top six finisher for Honda in 2020. Whilst Rea was faster than Bautista throughout the opening three sectors of the lap, Bautista’s top speed down the straight was enough to give him the advantage come the end of the lap, albeit not enough after Rea put together a perfect lap. Setting consistent fast laps, Bautista was comfortably ahead of the other Ducatis, with teammate Michael Ruben Rinaldi only tenth and suffering a run-off at Turn 4. It wasn’t the strongest opening day for reigning World Champion Toprak Razgatlioglu (Pata Yamaha with Brixx WorldSBK), with the Turkish rider finishing fourth on the combined times and failing to improve his best time from FP1. Just under half a second behind Rea, Razgatlioglu set the fewest number of laps out of anyone else in the top ten and was the only rider in the field to not improve his lap time from the morning session. Teammate Andrea Locatelli was right behind him in fifth place and just 0.051s adrift, consolidating his fifth place that he achieved in FP1. SENSATIONAL DEBUT: Nagashima makes waves as top Honda, Oettl top Independent Without doubt the surprise and revelation of the day was Japanese super-sub Tetsuta Nagashima (Team HRC), as he rounded out the top six in an excelled debut showing for the factory Honda outfit. Just shy of the top time by three quarters of a second, Nagashima was top Honda in both sessions across Friday, as regular rider Xavi Vierge concluded the day in 14th place. Nagashima is deputising for the injured Iker Lecuona, after the #7 was ruled unfit during the Pirelli Indonesian Round a week ago, due to a crash in FP2. The Independent charge was strong inside the top ten but it wasn’t the usual suspects, as Philipp Oettl (Team Goeleven) came to the fore in FP2, improving his time by over six tenths of a second compared to FP1. Behind him was Garrett Gerloff (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team), with the American in his final weekend with the team and manufacturer before a move to BMW awaits. The #31 was eighth on the combined times, 0.931s behind Rea at the top but with nearly two tenths of a second advantage over his nearest rival. BMW STRUGGLE ON DAY 1: Redding takes top honours in P9, Bassani P11 for Ducati That nearest rival was Scott Redding (BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team), who took top BMW honours after setting his fast lap behind Jonathan Rea, as has been so often the case in 2022, albeit mainly in Tissot Superpole. BMW struggled on the opening day as Redding was the manufacturer’s only top ten representation. Michael van der Mark (BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) was only 12th come the end of the day, whilst Loris Baz (Bonovo Action BMW) could only manage 16th and suffered a Turn 4 fall in FP1, although he was all OK. On his final Friday as a WorldSBK rider, Eugene Laverty (Bonovo Action BMW) took 18th place at the circuit in which his last career win came at. In terms of the other riders, it was Best Independent Rider for 2022 Axel Bassani (Motocorsa Racing) who took 11th; Bassani did a track walk on Thursday with none other than triple WorldSBK Champion Troy Bayliss, with the 22-year-old Italian racing at Phillip Island for the first time this weekend. In what could be his final weekend as a WorldSBK rider, with no seat confirmed for 2023, Lucas Mahias (Kawasaki Puccetti Racing) was 13th, whilst Xavi Fores (BARNI Spark Racing Team) was 15th. Hafizh Syahrin (MIE Racing Honda Team) took 17th, ahead of Oliver Konig (Orelac Racing VerdNatura) in 19th, Kohta Nozane (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team) in 20th, Leandro Mercado (MIE Racing Honda Team) in 21st and Kyle Smith (TPR Team Pedercini Racing) in 22nd. Top six after day one at Phillip Island, full results here: 1. Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) 1’31.127s 2. Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) +0.105s 3. Alex Lowes (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) +0.289s 4. Toprak Razgatlioglu (Pata Yamaha with Brixx WorldSBK) +0.477s 5. Andrea Locatelli (Pata Yamaha with Brixx WorldSBK) +0.594s 6. Tetsuta Nagashima (Team HRC) +0.742s

Super sub Nagashima on his ‘unexpected’ sixth place, outlines goals for racing in Australia Friday, 18 November 2022 Japanese rider Nagashima is standing in for the injured Iker Lecuona and impressed on Friday in Australia with sixth place The MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship welcomed a new name to the grid during the Grand Ridge Brewery Australian Round at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit with Tetsuta Nagashima making his debut in the Championship at Team HRC, in place of the injured Iker Lecuona. Nagashima impressed on his first day of WorldSBK action as he took sixth place in the combined classification and finished as the lead Honda rider on Friday in Australia. Nagashima completed 19 laps in FP1 on the CBR1000RR-R machine and finished just 0.010s ahead of teammate Xavi Vierge as the pair took ninth and tenth position respectively in the opening 45-minute session. Nagashima, who was looking for a comfortable position on the bike, completed three stints in FP1 with his best time coming in the final run as he posted a time of 1’32.964s on penultimate timed lap. The Japanese rider, who raced for Team HRC in the Suzuka 8 Hours alongside Lecuona as they won the prestigious race this year, found around a tenth of a second in FP2 to finish that session in sixth place, also taking the same position in the combined classification. Nagashima’s best time came at the start of his third run when he posted a 1’31.869s. Although it was his only lap in the 1’31s bracket, he did lap in the 1’32s and 1’33s on a regular basis. Discussing his WorldSBK debut and impressive start, Nagashima said: “No, I didn't expect this! I was expecting to struggle a bit more because it’s my first time in WorldSBK. It was one of my first times with the Pirelli tyre. It was really difficult but P6 is not bad. I have experience here from MotoGP™ and I think the MotoGP™ bike is a little bit more difficult. When I ride the Superbike, it was a bit easier because I have experience from the Suzuka 8 Hours, and I know this bike well. I just need to adapt to the Pirelli tyres, but it was okay. I had a small problem, but it was okay. I still have to improve for the race because the race is 22 laps, it’s quite long. My average lap time is not so good. I can still improve a lot. Let’s enjoy the race. I don’t know where I will finish but I will try to do my maximum and maybe after the race I can smile!” Nagashima was the lead rider in both FP1 and FP2 with ninth and sixth respectively, with Vierge one place behind him in FP1 but eight places behind him in the combined classification as he finished in 14th place. At a circuit he raced at just a month ago in MotoGP™, will Nagashima be able to continue his strong Friday form into Saturday and Sunday’s races and make an instant impact on the Championship?

Bulega leaves it late to top Friday running in WorldSSP practice at Phillip Island Friday, 18 November 2022 Rookie Bulega was able to go half-a-second clear of his rivals in FP2, but he was just 0.040s quicker than Caricasulo in the combined classification The FIM Supersport World Championship action at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit is shaping up to be a season-ending classic with just 0.040s separating the top two in the combined classification ahead of the Grand Ridge Brewery Australian Round. Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it WorldSSP Team) topped the times ahead of Federico Caricasulo (Althea Racing) with little to separate the pair after Friday’s two 45-minute Free Practice sessions. A CLASSIC ON THE CARDS? Little to separate the front of the field… With WorldSSP returning to Australia for the first time since 2020, and with plenty of changes to the grid since then, it appears there could be a classic weekend in store. Bulega posted a time of 1’34.027s to top Friday afternoon’s Free Practice 2 session and he was the only rider who was able to dip below Caricasulo’s effort from FP1; the Italian posted a 1’34.067s in the morning session to strike first. Bulega’s fastest lap came in a final three-lap stint with his best lap on the second lap of his third run in the session. Caricasulo was one of five riders who did not improve their lap time between FP1 and FP2, with the Italian down in tenth in the second session. They were around four tenths clear of double Champion Dominique Aegerter (Ten Kate Racing Yamaha) with the Swiss rider surging up the order in the closing stages to take third in the combined classification, and second in FP2, with a 1’34.458s. SURPRISES IN STORE: a mixed-up order Yari Montella (Kawasaki Puccetti Racing) enjoyed a strong Friday in Australia as he spent a lot of time in FP2 at the top of the timesheets, although he was usurped by Bulega and Aegerter in the latter stages of the session as the Italian took third. He was ahead of Stefano Manzi (Dynavolt Triumph) in fifth place and Can Oncu (Kawasaki Puccetti Racing) in sixth, with four of the five manufacturers in 2022 represented inside the top six. ROUNDING OUT THE TOP TEN: looking to join the lead battle Championship runner-up Lorenzo Baldassarri (Evan Bros. WorldSSP Yamaha Team) was seventh on his first visit to the circuit in WorldSSP, with the Italian leading two riders who will hope to continue their strong form from recent rounds. Raffaele De Rosa (Orelac Racing VerdNatura WorldSSP), who was fighting for wins in Argentina, and Niki Tuuli (MV Agusta Reparto Corse), who won Race 1 in Indonesia, were eighth and ninth respectively; Tuuli’s best time was set in FP1. Home hero Oli Bayliss (BARNI Spark Racing Team) took tenth in the combined classification with a 1’34.823s after taking fourth in FP1, with the Australian rounding out the top ten. HOUSEKEEPING: to note from Friday GMT94 Yamaha duo Andy Verdoia and Jules Cluzel were 11th and 12th respectively, with neither rider improving their lap time from FP1. Verdoia was fourth in the first session as he posted a 1’34.859s while Cluzel set a 1’35.124s. Wildcard Marcel Schroetter (MV Agusta Reparto Corse), making his debut ahead of a full-time switch to WorldSSP next year, was 13th while Marcel Brenner (VFT Racing) and Hannes Soomer (Dynavolt Triumph) rounded out the top 15. Adrian Huertas (MTM Kawasaki) was 18th in the combined classification after he had a crash at Turn 8, with the 2021 WorldSSP300 Champion taken to the medical centre for a check-up following the crash. Huertas improved his time between FP1 and FP2, posting a best of 1’35.919s, but lost just under 10 minutes of track time following his crash. The top six following WorldSSP Friday action, full results here: 1. Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing WorldSSP Team) 1’34.027s 2. Federico Caricasulo (Althea Racing) +0.040s 3. Dominique Aegerter (Ten Kate Racing Yamaha) +0.431s 4. Yari Montella (Kawasaki Puccetti Racing) +0.505s 5. Stefano Manzi (Dynavolt Triumph) +0.590s 6. Can Oncu (Kawasaki Puccetti Racing) +0.646s

Wet WorldSBK FP3 topped by Rea, Lowes impressive as Kawasaki get stronger Saturday, 19 November 2022 There was a green feel at the front in a rainy FP3 at Phillip Island, as Jonathan Rea and Alex Lowes didn’t let the wet weather dampen their spirits The final round of the 2022 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship is well underway and if two years away from Phillip Island hadn’t brought enough unpredictability, wet weather was an added ingredient on Saturday. The rain came for the Grand Ridge Brewery Australian Round, as scheduled, and FP3 saw Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) top the session, as the riders got to grips with Phillip Island in the wet, something that in WorldSBK, is a very rare item. Improving right until the end of the session, wet weather prowess came to the fore for six-time World Champion Jonathan Rea, with the Ulsterman improving continuously to top the session by 0.377. Not usually a rider to enjoy wet conditions, Toprak Razgatlioglu (Pata Yamaha with Brixx WorldSBK) was inside second but was briefly top, although his time was deleted for yellow flags due to a crash at Turn 10 for Kohta Nozane (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team). Having led for most of the session, Alex Lowes (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) was right on the pace as he and his Kawasaki ZX-10RR looked good in the tricky conditions in third. Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) may well be happy that he got the title clinched a week ago without the added stress of wet conditions in Australia, although he was fourth in FP3. Completing the top five was Razgatlioglu’s teammate, Andrea Locatelli. Top Independent honours went to Axel Bassani (Motocorsa Racing), who despite never racing at Phillip Island before, was impressive in sixth in the wet. Tetsuta Nagashima (Team HRC) took seventh but crashed right at the end of the session with a highside at Turn 1. Thankfully, he was up and walking away. It was a mightily impressive showing from Kyle Smith (TPR Team Pedercini Racing) who took eighth place, ahead of Garrett Gerloff (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team) and Xavi Vierge (Team HRC). Riders to keep an eye on in the wet include Michael van der Mark (BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) in 11th, who won a wet Superpole Race at Portimao in 2021, as well as Hafizh Syahrin (MIE Racing Honda Team) who was 12th, as the Malaysian has always featured strongly in the wet during his MotoGP™ paddock days. Despite being 15th in the session, Loris Baz (Bonovo Action BMW) is always one to watch, whilst on the contrary, Michael Ruben Rinaldi (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) is not one who usually enjoys the wet weather, and that was reflected with his 18th place in FP3. There were difficulties for Scott Redding (BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team), with the British rider stuck in the pits for most of the session, although he did set eight laps. There was also a crash for Philipp Oettl (Team Goeleven) at Turn 6 early in the session, but he remounted and resumed action. Top six after WorldSBK FP3 at Phillip Island, full results here: 1. Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) 1’41.353s 2. Toprak Razgatlioglu (Pata Yamaha with Brixx WorldSBK) +0.377s 3. Alex Lowes (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) +0.523s 4. Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) +0.556s 5. Andrea Locatelli (Pata Yamaha with Brixx WorldSBK) +1.016s 6. Axel Bassani (Motocorsa Racing) +1.294s

No results for SBK FP3 were posted. I think the tech has been into the sponsor's product. No results for SSP Race 1 either.

Pitlane error costs Razgatlioglu A slight problem during his inevitable pitstop in WorldSBK race one at Phillip Island, when the track went from wet to dry mid-race, saw Toprak Razgatlioglu lose some time getting out of pitlane right on the tail of eventual winner (by over six seconds) Jonathan Rea. Second in a race, even with this problem costing him time he could not make up in the dry section, is still a good result, especially given the fact that he was struggling in day one - by his own high standards, of course. “After yesterday, I’m feeling better, said Toprak of his Saturday experience. “Especially in wet conditions, I’m feeling that the bike is much better. But today, when we started the race, I was feeling the track had no not grip. www.bikesportnews.com/news/news-detail/worldsbk-phillip-island-pitlane-error-costs-razgatlioglu
