WSBK
Three days of official pre-season testing at the Algarve Circuit in Portugal from Friday 22 to Sunday 24 January will herald the start of the 2010 Superbike World Championship.
The Portuguese track, the venue for the final round of the 2009 season three months ago, will once again be the location for the year’s first World Superbike and World Supersport action as all the top teams and riders prepare for the coming season.
A total of fourteen hours of testing for World Superbike and nine for World Supersport are scheduled on the programme, with action starting at 8.30 am and concluding at 4.40 pm on all three days.
MOTOGP
A favourite destination for testing due to the favourable weather, the Sepang International Circuit will host the first 2010 test from 3rd-5th February, with the first day being reserved solely for test riders as a "private test" - whilst the official MotoGP riders will have the two subsequent days of work at the Malaysian venue.
Three weeks later, from 24th-26th February, the MotoGP teams will head back to Sepang for another “1+2”-day test, before a final pre-season test to be held at the Losail International Circuit from 17th-19th March, just three weeks before the inaugural race of the 2010 season at the Qatari venue.
Three tests should also be scheduled for Moto2 and 125cc teams over the February/March period, with sessions planned at the Jerez and Valencia circuits.
