The MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship has seen many famous names come through the paddock over the years. We caught up with triple World Champion Troy Bayliss, chatting about how he thought that he’d never race in WorldSBK after a disastrous first round as Carl Fogarty’s replacement in 2000, signing off his career as Champion and how his son, Oli Bayliss, may be heading for stardom too. Starting with his big move to WorldSBK in 2000, Bayliss was surprised: “Moving into WorldSBK in 2000 came as a bit of a surprise but to start with anyway, my goal was to end up there. When Carl had his accident, I was riding well after winning the British title in 1999 and moving to America for Vance and Hines Ducati in 2000. I thought it would be another year or maybe even two before I got to WorldSBK. The first race was at Sugo and I had a disastrous time, crashing in both races. I thought, ‘I’ll never get the opportunity to ride again and after crashing twice, I’d not go back to World Superbike’ but I did come back and I had a good ride at Monza; after that, the deal was done and I wasn’t going anywhere: I was staying in the World Championship.” One of his biggest rivalries came with Colin Edwards, with both enjoying multiple seasons of battles: “A lot of the fights with Colin Edwards would feature plenty of moves that we’d try on each other to try and break one and other but most times, it came down to the last two laps. Monza 2001 in Race 1 was a big breakthrough, after lots of podiums at the start of the year and to finally get a win – at Monza as well – was great. I was pretty well known for the fights I had with Colin but I had so many other fights with other guys too; Frankie Chili, Noriyuki Haga, Yukio Kagayama, Troy Corser, Neil Hodgson and James Toseland. I had really good times; what a great time in WorldSBK!” There was also a titanic rivalry with James Toseland, mainly in 2007: “There were times when I had heaps of battles with James Toseland, especially in 2007. I was on the Ducati 999 and we had managed to win the Championship in 2006 but by 2007, the Japanese bikes were getting faster and the 999 was in its twilight. I pushed hard all the time and often, over the limit, like when I crashed at Donington Park. James then went on a bit of a good streak and it was annoying me that he was winning so much! Haga was like a dog with a bone and spent most of the time half a centimetre from my back wheel. Max Biaggi was always pretty intense, especially in 2008 when we were both riding for Ducati, so we had some good battles then too.” A popular character on and off the track, Bayliss enjoyed the passion of the crowds at most tracks but listed his favourite places to win: “My favourite places to win were in Australia, the UK and Italy. The three biggest places where you could hear the crowd were Brands Hatch, where you literally heard them over the engine. There was also Monza and there was Imola; they were the strongest places. There was something about Imola and Monza where it is like riding through a park, so different to other places. The atmosphere was completely crazy and it is very difficult to explain how good it was.” “I remember 2001 at Imola, as the title was already in the bag and I had a lot of family over. Our bike was painted in Paul Smart’s colours from when he won the Imola 200 and I was there on the 998 with the colours of his bike. I had a big crash in Race 1 with Regis Laconi and that was the end of my weekend! “In 2002 at Imola, I finished second to Colin but people will never forget that race, it went down in the history books and in all, it was a great weekend for the Championship and a great showdown for the fans. I think Ducati were more disappointed than me because I didn’t win the Championship but it was just one of those things. I knew Imola was going to be difficult as Honda had already tested there and were up to speed and strong from the start. There were times where I was trying to slow up each race but then Colin would pass and pick the pace up again. On the last lap of Race 2, I had a massive moment and knew it’d be really difficult and that it was pretty much in the bag for Colin.” Bayliss signed off his career at the age of 39 but still at the top of his game, and found it harder than he thought it would be to walk away from the sport: “By the end of 2008, I was happy to step away, despite how hard it’d be. I thought I was absolutely fine by doing it like that: winning and stopping. Basically, we came home for pretty much the first time since 1998 and it was such a culture shock to come back and try and live a life from before. “I miss winning and the competition, but to finish at 39, I still felt like I could carry on but I’d had enough of it. Also, for the family too; Mitchell – the eldest – was 14 at the time and Abbey was 12 so we thought they’d had enough time chasing me around and it was time to bring them home and give them a bit more of a normal life.” However, the Bayliss name is “Oli started when he was around 11 or 12 and he had done a bit of riding before we went to the national championship. When I got him going, I got him a Metrakit and he was doing some riding on a kart track. We then went to the race track for the first race of the series we’d entered and it was raining. I said to my wife, Kim, that we should watch from a bridge and anyway Oli he was riding in fourth or fifth and he crashed right in front of us and it was quite fast. Kim just turned round to me and said, ‘you better burn that f*****g bike!’ but she realises now that it is what he wants to do and now I’m feeling like how she used to, as I can barely watch; I’m quite nervous like a normal dad, which I never understood before.” There’re even similarities with some of the support around Oli, as Bayliss’ former boss and manager Darryl Healey supports Oli’s efforts: “There’s always a masterplan behind the plan and when I went to the UK in 1998, that was Darryl Healey, the boss of GSE. He then became my manager and a great friend and even now, there’s a GSE sticker on Oli’s bike because he’s supporting our family. Oli’s had a couple of years on the 600cc Supersport bike and finished second last year in the Championship. Of course, I will worry with him on the Superbike in 2021 but there’s plenty of potential for him to be a professional racer.” Enjoy the 2021 World Superbike season with the WorldSBK VideoPass![1] References^ WorldSBK VideoPass!

Eugene Laverty will feature for his fourth different team in four years during the 2021 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship as he links up with the brand-new RC Squadra Corse outfit as one of two BMW Satellite teams. In a question-and-answer session with BMW Motorrad Motorsport on social media, Laverty looks ahead to 2021 with some reflections on 2020, staying with the same manufacturer for two consecutive seasons and the new BMW M 1000 RR machine that will come into WorldSBK in 2021. 2021 will be Laverty’s second season on a BMW machine although on a new bike as the German manufacturer brings the M 1000 RR into the Championship. Looking ahead to his second season with BMW, Laverty said: To the ride same bike again for the second successive year is critical really in World Superbike right now. We just have to look at how the Championship has panned out for the last six years where Jonny Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) has been champion again and again with the same manufacturer. Chaz Davies has been with Ducati for so many years. You really need that continuity if you want to reach the top. You can’t just arrive and wam-bam and be there. The key for me was to continue with BMW and the bike will be another step up this year.” Although both Tom Sykes and Laverty were able to claim pole positions for the BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team in 2020, the duo were unable to stand on the podium. Looking back on 2020 and assessing his goals for 2021, Laverty said: “I know after last year there were certain tracks where we were really strong, and certain tracks, unfortunately like the last one in Estoril, where we really struggled. Tracks with some hard braking and really slow corners were the tracks where we suffered the most. I know the strength of the bike at, for example, Phillip Island, unfortunately not the season opener this year, but somewhere like there where it’s fast and flowing, the BMW is amazing. We need to capitalise on the fast, flowing tracks and work to make the bike better in the tight, twisty stuff, make the bike accelerate better, and of course accelerate out of those slow corners. “I don’t want to make any predictions until I’ve ridden this new M bike in testing. I am optimistic because I was really starting to get to grips with the bike towards the end of the year. I got that pole position at Magny-Cours. The thing was last year, I know it was a short season for everybody, but we really decided quite early on to take one step backwards to take two step forwards. We spoke about making the bike more user friendly. We knew the bike was strong over one lap, we’d seen that previously, but if we wanted to make the bike strong for 20 laps then we really had to really go backwards a little bit to take away that all-out performance to make the bike more consistent over 20 laps and we did that towards the end of the year. I’m in it for the long game, I want this bike to be on top of the podium. All the work we did last year, hopefully we can reap the rewards of that in 2021.” When asked about the differences between the 2020 BMW S 1000 RR and the 2021 M 1000 RR, Laverty explained about the power and aerodynamics of the bike: “The main thing has to be the power. That’s the main one, we’re going to have more RPM and go faster in a straight line! And then also that accompanied with the wings. Nowadays, if you’ve got power, you need to be able to control it and the wings are really going to help us with that. It is a continuation of last year’s bike, it’s really an evolution. I will still be able to start with my base setting, the work we did last year, but this bike is going to be a big step forward.” Discussing the winglets on the bike, Laverty said: “From what I understand with the BMW winglets, I think it’s a really good compromise. We’re going to be able to use those winglets to control the power on corner exit, but the key is to not have those disturb the bike in the mid-corner. I want to test the bike at the Supported test with the wings on and wings off to really get an understanding of what they do. Sometimes riders get fascinated by new shiny parts and they go straight for it. For me, I really want to understand everything about the new package so that’s the important thing.” Watch all the action from WorldSBK in 2021 using the WorldSBK VideoPass![1] References^ VideoPass!

The next step on the road to the 2021 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship season takes the Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK and Orelac Racing VerdNatura into Portugal as they prepare for a two-day test at the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve. Reigning Champion Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) will be the sole representative for KRT as Alex Lowes continues to recover from a shoulder injury, while Orelac Racing will have WorldSBK rookie Isaac Viñales and WorldSSP Challenge competitor Leonardo Taccini on track. The test at Portimao will take place over two days with track action taking place on Thursday and Friday from 10am to 5pm (Local Time/GMT). The circuit is set to host the Portuguese Round of the 2021 season at the start of October and gives both KRT and Orelac a chance to test their machines on a track that provides different challenges to those used so far in testing. Lowes injured his shoulder in a flat track crash in February and subsequently missed one test day at Jerez with the team looking for him to test at Portimao. However, his recovery is still ongoing as he works with doctors in order to fully repair his shoulder. It means Rea will be the only KRT rider on track as the team looks to continue developing the brand new ZX-10RR introduced for the 2021 campaign. Discussing that he won’t take part in the Portimao test, Lowes said: “I am working hard on my recovery with the doctors in Barcelona. I want to see all the guys from the team and join them at the track as soon as possible. Of course, I cannot wait to ride my new Ninja ZX-10RR again.” Looking ahead to the test, Rea said: “It is really good to test again and I am excited to ride the bike - especially during these strange and unknown times. We have got some consistency going inside KRT since we tested in November, then again recently at Jerez. It is good to keep the rhythm going with the new Ninja ZX-10RR race bike before the start of the season. We have already tested some new ideas with power characteristics from the engine although the weather conditions were not 100%. So, the main thing we have to do at this test is to confirm things on the engine side and then fix our gearbox ratios. We aim to keep building speed and keep building confidence.” WorldSBK rookie Viñales will also be on track as he looks to get up to speed ahead of his debut campaign following two strong WorldSSP seasons in 2019 and 2020 which earned him a seat in WorldSBK. Having joined the Orelac Racing VerdNatura outfit for 2021, Viñales will be hoping to continue his strong form into his maiden WorldSBK campaign and the two-day test will give him the perfect opportunity to get ready for the 2021 season. Also joining Viñales from Orelac Racing is WorldSSP Challenge rider Leonardo Taccini, who is making his debut in WorldSSP for the 2021 season. The 18-year-old will compete in the European rounds of WorldSSP this season as he looks to claim the WorldSSP Challenge title in his rookie campaign and, like Viñales, will be using this test to get up to speed ahead of the season.

The 2021 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship season is set to be one of the closest the Championship has ever seen and it’s vital to go into the year with confidence in your team and motorcycle. How do you achieve that? Testing. However, in 2021, with testing limitations, travel restrictions and new innovations, trepidation is higher than usual. So, why is testing so important? Firstly, although it seems somewhat obvious, new motorcycles and parts are in abundance in 2021. Kawasaki field a new ZX-10RR, BMW bring the all-new M 1000 RR to the table and Yamaha will bring an evolution of their YZF-R1 for 2021. In order for those bikes to competitive from lights out at round one, they need to hit the ground running in testing, although that is seeming harder than usual. The ever-changing situation during the pandemic, coupled with generally poor European weather in the early months of the year, mean that there’s added emphasis on making sure the time spent on track is rendered valid – but the introduction of limited testing looms larger than most. From the end of the 2020 season to the end of the 2021 season, only ten days of private testing is permitted for each team and rider. That means, unless you are with a bike not considered for racing, you will be subjected to the limited time. The Jerez test in January saw virtually nobody on track, with the rain rolling in, meaning teams and riders opted to remain in the box to save their day for a better time. The restrictions mean that any time spent testing must now be useful for the team, and it is forcing operations up and down the paddock to be strategically-minded with how they use up their allocated days, to give themselves the best shot at success in 2021. One more reason is that the 2020 season was a short one; manufacturers like Honda, who brought a new bike, are desperate for valid track time, so that they can develop their bike to be a contender. Just eight rounds in comparison to the planned thirteen meant Honda lost a lot of potentially-useful track time. However, so did the rookies; Scott Redding (aruba.it Racing – Ducati) and Garrett Gerloff (GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team) remain in WorldSBK for 2021 but are without the experience they could’ve had with extra rounds – albeit, both were on the podium in the final round of the season. Even so, both will want to have the perfect testing conditions ahead of 2021, hence why it is so important they use their allocated days wisely. Not just that but for last year’s rookies, as well as this year’s, they’ll head to new circuits in WorldSBK such as Assen, Donington Park and Misano; established battlegrounds for those seasoned in World Superbike action. The better you understand your motorcycle, the closer you’re likely to be when you hit one of those circuits. Another group of riders who will want to have more valid time on track include all of those who changed manufacturer last season. Alex Lowes (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK), Toprak Razgatlioglu (PATA Yamaha WorldSBK Team), Alvaro Bautista (Team HRC) and teammate Leon Haslam to name all but a few, will hope to make good use of their testing time. In the case of Bautista and Haslam, they’re developing a new bike and it is even more crucial that they make the most of preseason testing. It’s more important than ever, with the restrictions and competition level combined, to make hay whilst the sun shines. That’s one more reason, too; the competition level is so high in 2021. Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) has aims for a seventh title, whilst Lowes, Redding, Razgatlioglu, Chaz Davies (Team GoEleven) and Michael Ruben Rinaldi (aruba.it Racing – Ducati) were all winners in 2020 and are with the same manufacturer again in 2021, putting them one step closer to Jonny. Throw into the mix the young talent of Garrett Gerloff, Bautista’s development skills at Honda and the refreshed BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team line-up of Tom Sykes and new recruit Michael van der Mark – and their M 1000 RR – and it is clear to see why getting a better understanding of your motorcycle in preseason is hugely important for 2021.

Ongoing preperations for the upcoming 2021 FIM Supersport World Championship and FIM Supersport 300 World Championships are stepping up another gear with the Biblion Yamaha Motoxracing Team with WorldSSP Challenge competitor Maria Herrera joining the team for the first time since she was confirmed at the team, while her WorldSSP300 teammates Bahattin Sofuoglu and Marco Gaggi were also present alongside Championship rival Indy Offer (SMW Racing Kawasaki). Herrera was announced as competing in the WorldSSP Challenge for the Biblion Motoxracing outfit where they will be an official Yamaha-supported team for the 2021 campaign. She will compete on a Yamaha YZF-R6 and she got her first taste of the new bike and new team as she completed a two-day test at the Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto. Herrera was using the test to adapt her riding style and getting back up to speed after she spent the winter recovering. 24-year-old Herrera said: "As far as this test is concerned, I’m serene and happy. In these two days we have done a lot of laps and tackled a lot of issues, we have improved from session to session and I have a better understanding of both the bike and the team. For sure we need to do a lot of laps because it has been a long winter and with my injury, I haven't been able to ride much. So, we have to continue in this direction to get where we are aiming for.” Herrera was joined on track by WorldSSP300 riders Sofuoglu and Gaggi, from the same team, as they helped developed new components looking ahead to the 2021 campaign. Sofuoglu posted a best time of a 1’53.1s, around half-a-second faster than he managed in the Tissot Superpole for the Spanish Round at Jerez while Gaggi posted a 1’54.9. Turkish sensation Sofuoglu said: "It was a good test for us, I was very impressed with my team who did a great job after a long winter break. We improved a lot of things on my bike and I improved my mentality. I have changed some things that I felt were necessary and now I can trust the feeling I have with my bike and the power of this 'beast' which is now ready to aim for the top.” Marco Gaggi: "I'm happy with this test, the feeling with the bike has grown more and more and we have been working on the bike and on myself, improving step by step. I'm happy with the work done, because it was my first time with the whole team, and I felt really comfortable working to perfection. My thanks to them. We must continue on this path.” Also on track was Britain’s Offer with the 18-year-old focusing on his riding technique and especially braking. His test day at Jerez was one of several planned shakedown tests for the British rider which follows on from a two-week boot camp at Supermotoland in Spain before he linked up with his SMW Racing Kawasaki outfit as he prepares for his second season of WorldSSP300 action. Offer said: “Supermotoland has been a great way for me to train and prepare for my second season in the Supersport 300 World Championship. Of course, riding on tarmac is different but there are many skills and techniques that you can transfer between disciplines. The best bit was seeing at Jerez the big step that I had made with my braking. My fitness has also improved and the long stints that we did at the bootcamp really helped and I was able to push as hard on the last lap of each session in Jerez as I was at the beginning of the session. My mindset has also improved, I understand the processes of how to go faster, and even though on a Supermoto bike you can’t work on corner speed, the gains on brakes and getting on the power earlier is something that we could see immediately on the data at Jerez. It was good to be back on track with the team at Jerez. Of course, any rider will say that they want to be faster, but the thing I am clear about now is that I know the areas that I still need to improve on and that makes me confident of the season ahead. We have another test planned in Italy and then the Dorna supported test at Catalunya and I will be doing as much private riding as possible. After five months out of the saddle it’s great to be back and I am really happy to be riding with the same team as I rode with last year.” Follow action from WorldSSP and WorldSSP300 in 2021 using the WorldSBK VideoPass[1]!

A new start after several years of absence from the paddock. This is the feeling of Michel Fabrizio (Motozoo Puccetti Racing) who will be back in the FIM Supersport World Championship in 2021 having not raced in the class since 2005 and not within the WorldSBK paddock since 2016. In an interview, Fabrizio discusses his return to competition on the world stage, his rookie teammate and how his comeback came about. The 36-year-old driver from Lazio is very happy to return to the intermediate class of production derivatives. “The sensations are beautiful but at the same time also very strange. My debut in fact dates back to the 125cc class when I was 16. Now I experience this return almost as if it were a first time even if at the age of 36. I can say that it is a train that passes for the second time and that stops again.” A return that really came about by chance as Michel tells us in this interview: “On December 26th I was at home on the sofa; I was watching the Lupine TV series on Netflix. At some point I get a message from a friend. I ask him 'listen, do you know if there are teams in Supersport still without riders? His response was 'I hear Manuel Puccetti'. So, I sent a message to Manuel saying, 'do you want to take an old man on your team?'. His answer was let’s speak tomorrow.'” In two weeks, the parties reached an agreement and Fabrizio is enthusiastic about returning to the WorldSSP paddock: "On 11th January I went to him in Reggio Emilia and we signed the contract. The result is that I am training like crazy to get back to top levels after four years off.” Six years of absence from the WorldSBK paddock is a long time, but the Frascati rider is undoubtedly not lacking in experience. He can rely on this to fight for the positions that count in WorldSSP. How did Fabrizio spend this period? “The first two years I was the team manager of one of my teams that participated in the Italian championship in the Moto3 class and with which we won the title of vice-champions at national level. In 2018 I was engaged as a rider in the Italian 600 championship, then I worked as a talent scout for boys aged between 10 and 14 engaged with Ohvale bikes. I also manage a kart track in Civitavecchia, on the Lazio coast north of Rome.” Fabrizio last raced in WorldSSP in 2005, a year in which he claimed five podiums. The goals for this season are ambitious. There is a lot of optimism on the part of the team and the rider: "I expect 'little' from myself, in the sense that I am setting out to win at least one race. I'm aiming for a top ten final position. It will be a very intense season. But I am aware that the first race will be very important to understand how much work we will have to work to get there.” In the new experience in the paddock of the intermediate class he will compete for Motozoo Puccetti Racing, using Kawasaki machinery, led by team manager Fabio Uccelli: “I will bring a lot of experience to the team, but the great thing is that with him in 2003 with Suzuki we were both rookies and we won the European Superstock 1000 title.” Fabrizio will be joined at the team by Japanese rookie Shogo Kawasaki. In the current climate with the ongoing pandemic, this could cause issues with travelling but the team and Fabrizio have a plan: “I am very happy to have Shogo Kawasaki as my teammate. Together with 'Fabietto' we have decided that - to avoid the complications related to the restrictions in terms of travel from Japan caused by the pandemic - during the season Shogo will stay at my house for a month and at his house for a month. We will make friends and train together.” Fabrizio and the team have ridden on two occasions in Vallelunga. Fabrizio outlined the testing plan for the team, saying: "After Vallelunga, if we succeed, we will go to Misano while at the end of the month we will be busy with tests (with the support of Dorna) scheduled in Barcelona.” Covid-19 has partly conditioned Michel's work program as he is preparing to re-join WorldSSP. Fabrizio, however, looks at the glass as half full: “For me, to be honest, it was almost better this way since I have more time to train even considering that we will get to the start of the world championship with only six days of testing. So far, I have only met Fabio and the mechanics. The team is made up of six technicians, in addition to the coach, us riders and the team manager who does everything. I believe that the first contact with the full team will be in Barcelona. Goals for the season? Fabio was clear, we have to win! I think that if at the end of the year the team manages to be in the top five positions of the team classification, we can be really happy, it would be a great result!” Follow Fabrizio’s comeback and more WorldSSP action using the WorldSBK VideoPass[1]!

With the off-season in full swing, and preperations now gearing up for the 2021 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship season, teams and riders from across the paddock sat down to discuss their best and worst moments from across the 2021 campaign. Several riders from WorldSBK discussed their high and low moments, including Champion Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK), his title rival Scott Redding (Aruba.It Racing – Ducati) and many more. All of these videos are now available for you to watch in one place at the top of this article so you can get the insight from riders about their experiences of the 2020 season. Redding’s rookie campaign was the first to be reviewed by the British rider as he looked back on his first WorldSBK season, before Alvaro Bautista (Team HRC)[1] and Alex Lowes (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) followed[2]. 2020’s breakthrough star, Michael Ruben Rinaldi (then Team GoEleven) followed before six-time World Champion Rea reviewed his record-breaking campaign. Turkish sensation Toprak Razgatlioglu (PATA Yamaha WorldSBK Team) looked back on his rollercoaster campaign as did American Garrett Gerloff (GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team), who stunned the field towards the end of the 2020 campaign. Gerloff’s 2020 teammate, Federico Caricasulo, was next after his debut WorldSBK campaign[3] on the Yamaha YZF-R1 before Eugene Laverty (then BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) as he looked back on a challenge season.
