The Red Bull Honda World Superbike Team has arrived in Germany to carry out a two-day private test from tomorrow at the Lausitrzing. The team will make the most of the track time available to evaluate new parts and solutions developed for the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP2 and to better prepare for the ninth round of the 2017 FIM Superbike World Championship, which takes place at the same venue on August 18-20.
With full time rider Stefan Bradl off to Japan to take part in this year’s Suzuka 8 Hour endurance race with the Honda F.C.C. TSR Team, the on-track duties will be fulfilled this time by Michele Magnoni, who already joined the team for a private test at Misano last month, and by former World Superbike rider Davide Giugliano, who will give his precious contribution and feedback to the Netherlands-based squad as an added test rider.
