Surra to replace Vickers or should I say Surra’s money to replace Vickers https://www.crash.net/wsbk/news/108...ement-confirmed-ex-moto2-rider-gets-promotion
11:00 – Honda HRC’s big new signings, Somkiat Chantra and Jake Dixon ride out together for their first laps on their new CBR 1000 RR-R.
Times from today. https://www.crash.net/wsbk/results/1087398/1/november-2025-worldsbk-jerez-test-results-wednesday Decent start to wsb for Jake even if he is just there for a payday effectively.
Not much to go on until the Ducatis show up is there especially as they were lapping two to three seconds under bulegas pole time from this year.
Novelty idea: a small amount of points awarded for top three fastest riders in tests. Ease the boredom, one or two extra bums on seats etc.
Day two. 10:08 – Bimota permanent riders Alex Lowes and Axel Bassani will appear today after not participating in Day 1. Bassani will begin his collaboration with Uri Pallares today when he takes to the track.
Provisional entry list for next year. Looks like Ianone is starting his own team. https://m.gpone.com/en/2025/11/27/s...try-list-iannone-with-cainam-racing-team.html
https://m.gpone.com/en/2025/11/28/sbk/dixon-whoever-said-sbk-was-similar-to-moto2-were-drunk.html Is he referring to anyone in particular? Not a dig at Jake but I’ve never heard anyone compare moto 2 with wsb..
Probably just the way the article has been edited together that makes Jake look like a knob …… but then we know Jake can do that all by himself. As far as I remember, Jake has never ridden a WorkdSBK spec bike before and the BSB spec super bikes have moved on immensely since he last rode one. I’m still not convinced Jake will make a success of this move but let’s hope so. Andy
