Tomorrow the SBK test starts at Motorland Aragón

The Motorland Aragón Circuit welcomes several riders from the World Superbike Championship tomorrow and on Monday for a very interesting training session ahead of the second round of the World Championship at the Imola Circuit, so we will have several riders and teams preparing their machines to follow up at the highest level.

There is not much information on this, but we know they will spend two days testing new equipment and settings for their respective bikes. There is also no closed list of the riders and teams who will attend these Superbike training sessions, but among them will be the men from Aprilia Racing, namely Eugene Laverty and Max Biaggi, the current leader of the overall standings after the races at Phillip Island (Australia).

Also on the Aragón track will be Joan Lascorz, the Kawasaki Racing Team rider, who will continue working on his ZX-10R. We assume his teammate Tom Sykes will also be training, but we cannot confirm it. Who will definitely be there, and is one of the novelties, is Tati Mercado, who after getting injured and missing the first round in Australia will now be able to test his Kawasaki with Team Pedercini, undoubtedly a great moment for the 36.

The unfortunate news is that on March 8 David Salom had to go through surgery to fix his right hand injury, and for now we do not know if he will be able to go out and test his Kawasaki. We know he will be at the Circuit, but not whether he will be able to get on the bike; we will have to wait for the decision of the rider, doctors and team, since what matters is Imola. We also have no confirmation that Carlos Checa will go to Motorland, although we assume he would not pass up the opportunity to keep working with his Ducati, but this is not confirmed.

The men from BMW will certainly be on the Aragonese track, with both Marco Melandri and Leon Haslam continuing to work on their bikes ahead of the second round of the championship. In principle we assume there will be more riders and teams on track; once we have the list of registered riders or those present at Motorland we will expand the information.

Tomorrow and Monday it is the turn of SBK; after Monday, from Wednesday in Jerez, Moto2 and Moto3, and closing a week of testing, MotoGP in Jerez from March 23 to 25. Both wheels are ready to go, you can already smell the gasoline.
