ASBK: l’entry list definitiva del primo round 2012 a Phillip Island

Ci siamo. Il prossimo fine settimana, insieme al mondiale di categoria, scatta sul mitico tracciato di Phillip Island la stagione 2012 dell’Australian Superbike. Piloti riconosciuti anche a livello internazionale si confronteranno sui saliscendi del circuito di Victoria, tutti all’inseguimento del campione in carica Glenn Allerton (Procon Maxima BMW), anche se ci sarà una griglia di partenza ridossa all’osso: soli 11 iscritti, ma senza dubbio “di livello”. Nell’entry list definitiva non mancano ex-campioni come Josh Waters (Team Suzuki) e Jamie Stauffer (Team Honda Racing), ma anche piloti alla ricerca del primo titolo ASBK come Wayne Maxwell e Ben Attard più Robert Bugden, esperto tri-campione neozelandese Superbike. Di seguito l’entry list definitiva per il primo round dell’ASBK 2012.
