Destination Down Under for Pata Yamaha as official pre-season test kicks off 2016 campaign

The 2016 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship season beckons for Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK with the official pre-season test at Australia's Phillip Island commencing on Monday 22nd February.

Alex Lowes and #sylvainguintoli are eager to put their Yamaha YZF-R1's to work at one of WorldSBK's most unique and challenging circuits, with two days of testing scheduled ahead of the year's opening race #event the following weekend.

Situated on the Bass Straight, in Australia's southern state of Victoria, and just 130kms from Melbourne, the 4,445m Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit is a favourite of many riders, including Lowes and Guintoli. Breath-taking coastal views, high-speed corners and an undulating layout make the track thrilling for spectators and demanding for teams and riders alike, providing a perfect location for the final pre-season test of 2016.

Lowes and Guintoli will take to the Phillip Island Circuit for two, two-hour sessions on each of the scheduled days, with the opening WorldSBK action commencing at 11:10hrs local time on Monday 22nd February.
