Unlike MotoGP, WSBK had the chance to launch its season. It was last weekend, on the Phillip Island track, in an Australia which is now wondering about the organization of its Formula 1 Grand Prix in Melbourne... The Superbike therefore narrowly escaped! That being said, the category reserved for motorcycles derived from the series should still be overtaken by the throes of the coronavirus, since its next meeting is set in…Qatar.
The Grands Prix will be deprived this weekend of their major attraction which is MotoGP on the side of losail. The inaugural round of the 2020 season will, a priori, be content only with Moto2 et Moto3, while the protagonists of the major category were invited to stay at home. Technical unemployment due to the epidemic of coronavirus.
Meanwhile, the WSBK and its sequel WSS launched their hostilities at Phillip Island in a very beautiful way. A show that we can't wait to see on March 13th. Except that the meeting following the Australian stage is scheduled for Qatar.
The feeling is that, in all probability, this Qatar round will be canceled, similar to what was decided for MotoGP. For the moment, the teams are awaiting official communication from the organizer on the planned event, as we recall, from 13 at 15 March.
