WORLD SUPERBIKE
2015 SEASON PREVIEW
PREVIEW
P92
able after a super-tough 2014
with another team in charge.
Quirky already, but quick maybe?
It wasn't too slow for Canepa in
testing.
With everybody having access
to the same basic race kits and
electronics as the top teams in
2015, people like David Salom
on the Team Pedercini Kawa-
saki, Althea Racing Ducati's Nico
Terol and Matteo Baiocco, and
rookie Leandro 'Tati' Mercado
on the Barni Racing Ducati, will
be much more than privateers in
2015.
The regular World Superbike
fold is completed by Roman
Ramos in the rookie Go Eleven
Kawasaki squad, while Santiago
Barragan and Christophe Pons-
son make up the final regular
entries for Iron Brain Grillini
Kawasaki.
Australian wild cards at Phillip
Island will be Matthew Walters on
the Pedercini Kawasaki and Jed
Metcher, also on a Kawasaki.
