Superbike, starting as early as 2025
Superbike, test
A few hours from the conclusion of the 2024 season, at the Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto kicks off with a two-day test the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship in which we will see for the first time the new Bimota KB998 with which the Italian manufacturer is preparing to return to the World Championship; this will beà also the first time of Garrett Gerloff on a Kawasaki.
The Bimota KB998 will be on its debut in Jerez, entrusted to Alex Lowes and Axel Bassani, who in 2025 will be riders in the Bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team, a new project under the leadership of Provec Racing, with the latter featuring Kawasaki green until 2024.
Garrett Gerloff, after Yamaha and BMW, is about to begin his third experience with a different manufacturer in WorldSBK: the Kawasaki Puccetti Racing team and the ZX-10RR await him. Ryan Vickers in 2025 will race in WorldSBK with Team Motocorsa Racing riding the Panigale V4 R that until recently has been fighting for the podium.
In action in Jerez is the Aruba.it Racing – Ducati team, with Nicolò Bulega and Alvaro Bautista who will try to get off to a good start in 2025. Bulega last weekend in Jerez won two races, a weekend to forget instead for Bautista. Also on track with the Panigale V2 is Philipp Oettl who returns to the WorldSSP together with the world champion team in 2023 and 2024. Team HRC will field Xavi Vierge, also considering that Iker Lecuona è out after crashing in Tissot Superpole Race. The Honda test team and the Honda Racing UK team will also take part in the test.
Absent instead is the newly crowned 2024 world champion Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) who will be busy in Turkey in the title celebrations, although è BMW is expected to be on track.

Davis Cup, not just Jannik Sinner: Lorenzo Musetti is ready
The bronze medal at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged her up
This is it. Italy è is ready to start on the road to another possible dream, which is to win the Davis Cup again. The first obstacle è represented by the hostile Argentina (absolutely not to be underestimated). The Azzurri are betting, of course, on world No. 1 Sinner but there’è great confidence also in Musetti who arrived in Malaga in great form.
The blue number 2 è has been the protagonist of a heavenly season. The bronze at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged him up. Now he è ready to be an absolute protagonist in the Davis Cup: “I arrive with a different maturity at all levels”, his clear words to Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I’m ready to take more responsibility and have a more central, more important part than 12 months ago. There will be a lot of excitement, a lot of adrenaline, and I have a lot of desire to experience the competition”, the commentary of Musetti himself, who arrived in Malaga in excellent physical condition, having had some time to rest after Paris-Bercy.
Clearly, with such a motivated Musetti, è much can be expected from Italy. Sinner è an absolute guarantee but, to make it all the way, the help of all the members of the blue team led by captain Volandri is needed. There’s a strong desire to accomplish another feat and return to celebrate, all together.

NBA, Milwaukee snaps up Giannis Antetokounmpo
Well Golden State, black crisis for Philadelphia
So many contests in the NBA night. With its back against the wall, Milwaukee finds the strength to fight back and take home a crucial victory in the match with Chicago (122-106 the final). Race dominated by Antetokounmpo who finished with an impressive 41 points on the scoreboard, including 25 in a surreal third period, with also eight assists and nine rebounds.
Thanks to this success, the Bucks record rises to six wins and nine losses. After losing the unbeaten streak to Boston, Cleveland returned to success: 128-100 over New Orleans. Excellent performance by Jerome (29 points). The record of the Cavs è the best in the NBA with 16 wins and only one loss (suffered, precisely, against the Celtics).
Most delicate moment for Philadelphia, which continues to sink. The 76ers also surrendered in Memphis (117-111 the final), collecting their 12th defeat of the season (only two wins). A strong showing by Embiid (35 points and 11 rebounds) wasn’t enough to bring a smile back to the interior of a team in total crisis.
As for the other games, OKC folds Portland (109-99) while Houston gets rid of Indiana (130-113) rather easily. New York wins the challenge with Phoenix (138-122) while Golden State prevails against Atlanta: 120-97 the final for the Warriors with 23 points by Curry. Nice success, finally, of the LA Clippers against Orlando (104-93).

GP Las Vegas, Carlos Sainz has hope for constructors’ title
Ferrari è currently second at -36 from McLaren
.
The Las Vegas GP takes the stage. A new opportunity, for Ferrari, to try to get even closer to McLaren, currently leader in the constructors’ standings with 593 points, 36 more than the Cavallino. The circuit would seem to favor the Rossa, although Sainz points out an important detail.
“Ferrari competitive? Looking at the track I would say sì, Ferrari should be competitive or at least should be able to fight but when we see that tire temperatures rise, then I would say no”, the clear words of Sainz reported by Marca.
The Cavallino driver knows that in order to take home the Constructors’ World Championship title, he needs “help” from McLaren: “I think we are close. But at the same time, we also need McLaren to make some mistakes, becauseé, if they don’t make any mistakes from here to the end, in case we have to win all the time and we and they come second in every race, I think McLaren will probably still be able to keep the title”.
Sainz, in addition to trying to win another GP before ending his adventure with the Cavallino, wants to try to help the team win the constructors world championship: “I would like to win the championship for Ferrari this year. And sì, I think it would be a great way to end the season”.
