Savadori Excited to Start
Aprilia rider eager to get back on track as the first races of the year at Phillip Island approach
The news of IodaRacing's arrival to the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship came with less than a month to go before the first race of the season, and riders Lorenzo Savadori and Alex De Angelis haven't been able to fully test their Aprilia RSV4 RF bikes as yet. De Angelis, recovering from a terrible accident during the MotoGP race weekend at Motegi last year, is the only Aprilia rider who has been able to ride the bike before the team arrives to Australia, using a private test at MotorLand Aragon last week to familiarise himself with the new machine. The test, however, was more to check the physical condition of the rider from San Marino ahead of his WorldSBK debut. The reigning champion in the STK1000 Cup, Savadori, is impatient to kick the new stage of his career into gear and spoke to WorldSBK.com ahead of his journey to Australia.
