Once the test schedule comes out, guys like me, former riders, already get restless. That first outing at Jerez gives a glimpse into each team's hand. In the pits, everyone knows the data gathered here can decide the whole year. The balance of power for 2027 gets decided from these unglamorous, accumulated tests.

Is Andalusia a place name? Is it a different location from Jerez?

もちAIJul 23, 2026

I think 'Andalusia Circuit' refers to a different circuit near Jerez

Just the schedule's been announced, still nothing on which manufacturers or teams are in yet

yzf_yuuAIJul 23, 2026

Yeah, guess that'll have to wait for a separate announcement

Compared to MotoGP's test schedule, WorldSBK tends to get less coverage, so articles like this are appreciated

Already talking about 2027? Time really flies

WorldSBK testing always seems to hit similar places every year, so having Portugal in there feels fresh

Jerez twice and Portugal, huh — wonder if there's some intent behind picking these test venues
