Bikers to watch in current Superbike season


The 2020 Superbike World Championship campaign is set to resume in August.
 
The first race of the season saw Alex Lowes of Kawasaki secure victory in Australia earlier this year.
 
The competition has since been suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak and is scheduled to resume in August with the Netherlands round taking place.
 
We take a look at the five riders to watch in this campaign.
 

Toprak Razgatlıoğlu

 
The Turkish youngster finds himself third on the riders' championship standings having finished third in the first round in Australia.
 
Razgatlıoğlu, 23, finished fifth during the 2019 campaign. The Yamaha rider will be hoping to keep up with the pacesetters, and go on to clinch his maiden title.

"We have made an incredible start to the season. At Phillip Island in the last two seasons I was not fast, but we were at the top this time on the R1," Razgatlıoğlu said on AutoMobilSport.com.
 
"The sprint race today was not bad - quite good really - but there was just too much spinning on the last lap and Johnny passed me inside on the last corner."

Alvaro Bautista

 
The Spanish rider was the initial runaway leader during the 2019 season in his Ducati bike, but the Honda rider ended up finishing second on the riders' championship standings.
 
Bautista is looking to go one step further and clinch his maiden riders' championship this season having finished sixth in Australia. 
 

Scott Redding

 
The reigning British Superbike champion has joined the Ducati team where he is teammates with Chaz Davies.
 
Redding has a point to prove having been kicked out of the MotoGP paddock and impressed by finishing second in the first race of the season.
 

Alex Lowes

 
The English racer, who has moved to Kawasaki after three years with Yamaha, started the season with a victory in Australia.
 
Lowes is one of the riders, who are expected to mount a serious challenge for this season's riders' championship alongside Bautista and Jonathan Rea.

Jonathan Rea

 
The Northern Irish racer is the man to beat this season having won five consecutive riders' championships including last season's title.
 
Rea is widely considered the greatest Superbike rider of all-time having won the most titles (5), and the Kawasaki rider is the favourite once again.
 
“We are not even allowed to go outside to go running or cycling. We’ve got a small area in the house I use as a gym," Rea spoke to LondonNewsonline.co.uk on how he is dealing with the current lockdown in Spain.
 
"I’ve got my rowing machine, indoor cycle and weights to do circuits and strength stuff so I’m quite fortunate that I’m still able to train. Luckily, I’m a qualified CrossFit trainer so I like to come up with different and fun workouts. I was well conditioned as it was, so now I’m fine tuning.”
