With tests left behind, the sessions now become hot and the track will define the real values ​​of the protagonists of the Superbike. Phillip Island, the theatre of spectacular races often decided by a few hundredths of a second, will be the opening scenario of the new season. Two long flag-to-flag races, with a mandatory pit stop between lap 9 and lap 11, will be an additional moment of suspense and will increase the spectacle on the track, adding an unknown factor.

In his debut year in WorldSBK, the number 29 obtained a podium and a fourth place at Phillip Island, proving how this fast and flowing track is among the favourites of the rider from Vasto. The Ducati Panigale prepared by Go Eleven has some new features compared to last season, which will be used all togeher starting from FP 1; furthermore, analyzing the test data, there are some areas to fix, especially in the central sectors, and some ideas to evaluate.

Andrea Iannone (Rider): 

“The first day of this 2025 World Championship has finally come. In the preseason we didn’t take full advantage of the available days due to rain, but on every dry session we have always been very competitive. We start with a good base, but we need to wait for the first official days to understand the real values ​​on the track. Starting the season in Phillip Island is wonderful, the atmosphere and the place are unique, and last year we also got a podium here. Tomorrow we will try to work in the best possible way, try some ideas came from the tests, with the aim of confirming ourselves in the fight at the top”
