Stand back – the champions are here. After impressing as expected throughout the entirety of winter testing, Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK are ready to officially present the bike and team colours that they hope will lead them to a record-extending fifth consecutive world championship. Reigning world champion Jonathan Rea and new recruit Leon Haslam will don their 2019 leathers for the first time alongside the rest of the KRT crew.

This year the official launch of the 2019 campaign will take place at Silverwater Resort, near Phillip Island (Australia). The event will begin at 20:00 local time (09:00 GMT) on Saturday, 16^th February and will be live streamed for fans around the world to enjoy.
