After the sad passing of Dean Berta Viñales on Saturday at the Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto, the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship will race on in the memory of the Spanish rider on Sunday with a revised schedule for the Motul Spanish Round, while there will be a minute’s silence on the grid with the entire paddock family following the conclusion of the three Warm-Up sessions.
The three Warm-Up sessions will go ahead as planned from 09:00 Local Time (GMT+2), with WorldSBK on track first followed by WorldSSP and then WorldSSP300. At 10:15, there will be a minute’s silence on the grid to remember the talented rider from Spain with the entire paddock family joining.
In a change to the Sunday schedule, the Tissot Superpole Race will be cancelled and replaced with WorldSBK Race 1, originally scheduled for Saturday afternoon, at 11:00 Local Time. The WorldSSP race will take place at the planned time at 12:30 Local Time before WorldSBK Race 2 at 14:00. WorldSSP300 Race 2 will conclude the day’s action at 15:15.
