  • Honda returns to WorldSBK 2019 with the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP2.

  • The new Moriwaki Althea Honda is a full factory effort.

  • Riders are Ryuichi Kiyonari and Leon Camier.

The Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP2 WorldSBK 2019 challenger was unveiled by the new Honda factory team Moriwaki Althea Honda.

Riders Leon Camier and Ryuichi Kiyonari pulled the covers off the new bikes at Phillip Island. The launch was just hours before the start of the final pre-season test at the track. It was also mere days prior to the start of the WorldSBK 2019 season.

The entry marks Honda’s return to WorldSBK as a factory team since 2002 when Colin Edwards won the WSBK title. The team, now known as Moriwaki Althea Honda, takes over from Ten Kate Honda who have campaigned for the Japanese manufacturer since 2004. The much-publicized move drove out Ten Kate who later applied for bankruptcy.

It seemed harsh for Honda to do so, but it was because Suzuka-based Moriwaki Engineering is no stranger to bringing in success for Honda. Moriwaki started campaigning in the All-Japan Superbike Championship on Pirelli tyres (like in WorldSBK) since 2016 in the hopes of taking that experience to the world stage.

Kiyonari signed on to the team in 2017. He was a former British Superbike champion and WorldSBK winner.

The KYB Moriwaki Motul Racing team finished the 2018 Suzuka 8 Hour endurance race in 8thoverall with Kiyonari and Yuki Takahashi (one position behind the Honda Asia Dream Racing team with Zaqhwan Zaidi riding).

Leon Camier, on the other hand, joins the team after spending three seasons with MV Agusta.

Gagne stepped in a few races in this year as wildcard entries after the tragic loss of beloved rider, Nicky Hayden.

Jake Gagne will be racing together with another new Red Bull Honda rider, Leon Camier.

After several wildcard entries for the factory Honda squad in last year’s WorldSBK season, Jake Gagne has finally got his opportunity to race full time. The 25 year old from California USA will be racing for the Red Bull Honda outfit together with double British Superbike Champion, Leon Camier. (more…)

  • Jonathan Rea dominated Race 2 with new race format

  • Ducati duo Chaz Davies and Marco Melandri completed podium spots

With a win in Race 1, Rea looked to have a challenge laid out for him with the new race format. The new ruling meant that Rea had to start the second race from the back of the third row in P9 but that did not stop him from being victorious. The top spot was fought viciously between four riders; Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team), Chaz Davies and Marco Melandri (Aruba.it Racing) together with Alex Lowes (Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK Team). The win also marked Rea’s 40th career victory in WorldSBK. (more…)
