Race fans worldwide are barely two weeks away from the start of the much-anticipated new season of the eni FIM Superbike World Championship.

Can Sylvain Guintoli retain his world crown? History dictates that the challenge will be tough; Carl Fogarty was the last to defend a title, in 1999, and no rider has ever claimed consecutive world crowns for two different manufacturers. Frenchman Guintoli has now switched from Aprilia to Honda, although pre-season testing was blighted for the reigning title holder…

We also run through changes to the technical regulations for 2015 and there are exclusive interviews with Jonathan Rea, Davide Giugliano, Randy de Puniet, Jordi Torres and reigning World Supersport Champion Michael van der Mark who steps up to WorldSBK this season. And who are the riders tipping for victory in that first race out at Phillip Island in Australia? Some of the answers may be surprising!
