WSBK responds to 1200cc rumours.

Wednesday, 19th April 2006

Following increasing speculation that the World Superbike technical regulations will be changed to give twin-cylinder machinery a 200cc capacity advantage - bringing them up to 1200cc - in the face of growing four-cylinder opposition, WSBK organiser's FGSport have today released the following statement.

"In confirming that future modifications to the rules will be discussed by FIM and FGSport, with the manufacturers, we don't see any current reason to be preoccupied with when it should become necessary to deal with this item. We are, in fact, sure that the above outlined philosophy is in line with the needs and expectations of all manufacturers.

"We would like to reaffirm that any significant evolution of the Superbike World Championship technical rules will be the result of a process shared among FIM, MSMA and FGSport, and of the agreement found among these parties, furthermore FIM and FGSport express the wish that the National Federations which organise a Superbike championship can adopt the World Superbike Technical regulations in the future.

"Furthermore, as declared by the President Francesco Zerbi - and agreed by all the parties - we confirm that the technical regulations of the Superbike World Championship will continue to be oriented to ensure that all bikes which are permitted to participate to the Championship will respect the fundamental characteristics of the production models."
