WSBK, Phillip Island: Alex Lowes i Andrea Locatelli najszybsi w piątek
Rozpoczął się pierwszy w tym roku weekend WSBK w Australii. W 1. treningu na torze Phillip Island najszybszy był Andrea Locatelli (Yamaha). Inaczej wyglądała czołówka w FP2 – bowiem na czele znalazł się Alex Lowes (Kawasaki).
Wyniki pierwszych treningów są zupełnie różne od zeszłorocznych klasyfikacji serii WSBK, bowiem w czołówce zabrakło Alvaro Bautisty, Topraka Razgatlioglu oraz Jonathana Rea. Wszyscy oni byli wolniejsi od innych zawodników na takich samych motocyklach.
