Bimota stole a lot of the attentioဣn at the posꦅtseason World Superbike test in Jerez.

The Italian manufacturer will enter WSBK in 2025 equipped with Kawasakജi engines, as a rebrand of the Kawasak⭕i Racing Team.

Axel Bassani led Alex Lowes on a Bimotﷺa 1-2 on Wednesday, the final day of the Jerez test.

“The way we 🅺worked was great,” team boss Guim Roda said.

“We collected a lot of information with the new bike and, on Day 1, worked with [test rider Florian Marino] to make sure everything was working w𓂃ell with the bike fully ꦺassembled.

“We just had to adjust a few points to make sur๊e everyth𒅌ing was ready to go.

“On 💟Wednesday, we had the crew chiefs with the riders, and the r🐼hythm they took from the weekend, which was good as they could really feel the points to adjust and they were able to go fast, but, at the same time, understand the bike characteristics and areas to improve so we gathered a lot of information.

“With this base bike, we were already able to go fast,⛦ so expectations 🅠for the future are quite positive.

“We’re happy that the base bike is working. We understand the engi꧋ne character with this new chassis and 🧔now we need to work a lot.”

Bassani’s timesheet-topping 1’38.478s lap on Wednesday was half-a-second quicker than he managed during the race weekend at Jere൲z.

Roda is optimistic for his new-look team in 2025: “It’s good. Maybe it’s not better than expected, but it helps calm things down when the starting point 🌌is quite strong.

“When we transform the prototype to the mass production bike, as we have to take 🅘care of some production limitatio♊ns, we could achieve a good product.

“We h൲ave to say we are🌸 quite surprised and happy that the starting point is so good.”
