The World Championship returns! The second SS and SBK round at Jerez
After a break of roughly five months owing to the spread of coronavirus, the #supersport and #superbike world championship will restart this weekend at the #jerezdelafrontera circuit in Spain.
It will take place behind closed doors, with only teams and essential staff present, and all anti-virus protocols will be respected.
Dorna has shared its Social Media Overview for the 2019 SBK/SS world championship and likens that data to figures relating to the same social media channels during the lockdown period. Thanks to the hard work of the organiser, teams and riders, who have never stopped communicating, there has been an increase in the number of users interested in the production-derived championships. An excellent result that confirm the significant visibility of these series.
The #kawasakipuccettiracing team has left for Spain from the Misano World Circuit, where it competed in round two of the Italian CIV championship. One final training exercise ahead of the coming weekend's three #superbike races and two #supersport races at the Andalusian track.
Supersport riders #lucasmahias and #philippoettl and #superbike rider #xavifores have continued to train and arrive at Jerez in great physical shape. Manuel Puccetti's team has worked tirelessly on their bikes and feels confident ahead of the imminent championship restart.
The Jerez track is dedicated to the late Ángel Nieto and has hosted the MotoGP and WorldSBK races for many years. 4423 metres in length, the track features thirteen corners, eight of which are right-handers and five left-handers. Pole position is to the right.
The full schedule for the Spanish round is available at this link:

"I consider Jerez my home track. There are others I like too but I've always done very well there. During the November test sessions, I found a good setting and great pace, not far from the frontrunners. If we're able to use that data and start from there, I'm confident we can do well, although it will be a lot hotter now of course. We've just completed two great CIV races at Misano and I feel ready to get going."
"The two CIV races at Misano helped me to get back into the race rhythm, but I can't wait to get back on my bike and race at Jerez, a track I enjoy. I'm pleased that we're back #racing in the world championship and my only worry is that it's going to be very hot. I watched the MotoGP #racing which took place at the same track just a few days ago and looking at the riders' faces, I realise it's going to be tough."
"I know the Jerez track very well and am pleased to be #racing there again. After the Misano races, I feel ready to get back to the world championship and work with my team to find good feeling with my ZX-6R as soon as possible. We'll compete in two races in two days, but we did the same in the CIV and so I'm not worried. What worries me more is the heat we'll have in Spain, but we're all in the same boat and so I'll give it my all, as always, to score the best possible result."
