Pre-season progress continues at Portimão for the Red Bull Honda World Superbike Team
The Red Bull #Honda World Superbike Team continued its preparation for the 2018 #WorldSBK season with two days of productive testing at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimão, Portugal.
Following on from a successful test at Jerez a few days earlier, Red Bull #Honda World Superbike Team with riders #leoncamier and #jakegagne were again in fine form, completing 189 laps between them, as they continued evaluating chassis and engine components for the #Honda #cbr1000rrfirebladesp2 ahead of the 2018 #WorldSBK season.
After setting a scorching pace at Jerez, Camier once more showed a very fast turn of speed, setting a best lap time of 1’41.623 on the newly laid Portimão asphalt. For American rider Gagne it was his first taste of the undulating Portuguese circuit and his continued improvement over the two days was unfortunately cut short with a crash. Medical checks revealed that he had suffered no serious injury, but he was forced to miss the rest of the day’s running.
With a successful pre-season testing stint in Europe now complete, the Red Bull #Honda World Superbike Team heads down under for the official #WorldSBK pre-season test at Phillip Island, Australia from February 19-20.
