While a return to Mandalika may take place in the future, WorldSBK won’t be heading to Indonesia any time soon.

Mandalika was the scene for both 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista’s first championship wins in 2021 and 2022.

However, interest in WorldSBK has not been high enough f🔯or the circuit to continue hosting the series.

MotoGꦦP will continue to race at Mandalika, but speaking to mahbx.com, MGPA CE♉O Priandhi Satria detailed exactly why WorldSBK is no longer being held.

"We have stopped collaborating with WSBK in Mandalika, in the future this international [event] will have Mot🉐oGP and then there will be ARRC for two wheels.

"The government will not take it again because the market is not [big enough] in Indonesia, and coincidentally there is no WorldSBK hosting in [other] Asia [countries] eit🤪her. The closest is in Australia [Phillip Island].

"It is difficult for us to cover the financing for WorldSBK where the market is n♔ot as big as MotoGཧP."

WorldSBK began the 2024 season in Ph𒀰illipꦇ Island where Alex Lowes won on two occasions.

Also a winner oཧn his Superbike debut down under was Ducati’s Nicolo Bulega.

However, the Superb𒈔ike championship has seen a big shift in recent years as European rounds (including Donington Park) make up more than 90% of the calendar.

Argentina, like Indonesia, no longer holds a WorldSBK race as the likes of Hung♍ary and another Italian round at Cremona were added to the 2024 calendar before the Hungarian round was replaced by Estoril.
