The Bend is a course worth attacking, where a long straight and technical sections coexist. Running WorldSBK machines through there would make for a great show on both top speed and braking. Australia getting a new major venue is something I'm purely looking forward to.

The Bend Motorsport Park — first time I've heard of that circuit.

Starting from 2028 means it's still more than 2 years off.

They'll probably keep working on facility upgrades and track modifications in the meantime, getting it ready before the opener.

Phillip Island's always been the strong association with Australia, so adding another venue is a nice expansion of options.

I thought The Bend was a relatively new circuit, and it's already being chosen to host this class.

WorldSBK at a new circuit — already looking forward to what the first race there is going to be like.
