More top WSBK and WSS teams getting set to test
Some big name teams in the WSBK paddock are getting set to test even before the next official IMS sessions at Portimao at the end of this month - such is the pace of preparation as we face the latest season of Superbike World Championship racing.


In the Superbike class, the newly unveiled Castrol Honda World Superbike Team, with riders Jonathan Rea and Ruben Xaus on board, will test at new WSBK venue Aragon on Thursday and Friday this week.


They will be joined in Spain by the Supersport World Championship wing of Ten Kate's 2011 effort - the Hannspree Ten Kate Honda team - with riders Fabien Foret and Florian Marino.
