As on-track action draws nearer and nearer for the WorldSBK class, Steve English and Gordon Ritchie get together to look ahead to the tests for the World Superbike classes at Jerez and Portimão which start next week. There is much to talk about, and many questions to be answered. How will Toprak Razgatlioglu fare on the BMW, and will he drive development in the wrong direction for the other BMW riders? Will he extra revs Ducati are getting back cancel out the additional weight Alvaro Bautista will have to carry? What can Jonathan Rea do on the Yamaha? Will Alex Lowes be able to fill the gap left by Rea at Kawasaki? And what effect will all of the behind-the-scenes changes have on the series?
