B♚imota stole a lot of the attention at the postseason Worl▨d Superbike test in Jerez.

The Italian manufacturer will enter WSBK in 2025 equipped with Kawasaki e🥀ngines, as a rebrand of the Kawasaki Racing Team.

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

“The wജay we worked wꦓas 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 𒉰Marino] to make sure everything was working well with the bike fully assembled.

“We just had to ad♏just a few points to make sure everꦬything was ready to go.

“On Wednesday, we had the crew chiefs with the riders, and the rhythm they took from the weekend, which 𒆙was good as they could really feel the points to adjust and they we🌳re 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 ex🤡pectations for the future are quite positive.

“We’re happy that the base bike is working. We understand the engine 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 quiꦕcker than he managed during the race weekend at Jerez.

Roda is𓂃 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 produc💮tion limitations, we could achieve a good product.

“We have to say 𓆏we are quite surprised and happy that the starting point is so good.”
