Full factory effort from the Honda camp this year.

90% of the game is half mental.

Bautista is turning into the early favorite for the 2019 season.

These holes drilled into the fairing are supposedly to help keep the ECU cool.

JR gets ready for his session

Alex Lowes pondering life, the universe, and everything.

MVDM gets his game face on.

Down in front! It's been almost a decade since Ryuichi Kiyonari was in WorldSBK.

The views at Phillip Island are not horrible.

Power wheelies, Leon Camier like a boss, a surging sea tide.

If you have never ridden at Phillip Island, we highly recommend it. It's so choice.

Will this be Chaz's year?

The Yamahas should be contenders this year. Expect some surprises from their camp.

Is it race day yet?

Steve sent us these photos from the WorldSBK test at Phillip Island, and it seemed like a good excuse to try the new “gallery post” function we’ve been working on for the site. Let us know what you think of the snaps, as well as this new feature.

Also, get excited for looks to be a cracking year in the WorldSBK Championship. The Australian round should be a real scrap, and it will be interesting to see the new Superpole Race format in the flesh. All that being said, who is your favorite to win?
