We are getting a first look at the 2022 Motul FIM Superbike World Championship Series schedule. The plan is for the WSBK series to have 13 rounds for April through November. The schedule isn’t finalized yet, however. There is no date for the Australian Round at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, and the “13th round” doesn’t have a date or location yet.
From April to early October, the 2022 Superbike World Championship Series will be a Europe-only affair, with no races in August. After that, unless things change, it’s off to Argentina, Indonesia, and Australia.
Yamaha’s Toprak Razgatlıoğlu will be defending his title against six-time champion Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki) and contender Scott Redding (Ducati). Notable new riders in WSBK for 2022 include Iker Lecuona from Tech 3 KTM Factory Racing in MotoGP, and Moto2’s Xavi Vierge; both will be riding the factory Honda CBR-1000RR-R Fireblade.
