Superbike Advocates Unveils 2026 WorldSBK Livery at Portimão Test Ahead of Late-March Debut

The Australian-owned squad starts its WorldSBK season at Portimão following a switch from a planned BSB campaign.

Overview

  • The team confirmed its first WorldSBK race weekend for 27–29 March at Portimão after opting to skip the Phillip Island opener.
  • Tommy Bridewell remains the rider for the debut campaign, continuing with the outfit after his post-2025 BSB move from Honda.
  • The Ducati Panigale V4 R carries a black-and-red scheme with a red camouflage effect and Italian tricolour accents.
  • Australian and UK flags appear on the bike’s front wings to reflect the team’s origin and Bridewell’s nationality.
  • In Monday morning testing at Portimão, Bridewell ranked 16th and a little over two seconds off Alex Lowes’ benchmark.
