For dedicated motorcycle racing fans, the months of December and January are the toughest of the year. Other than the occasional team launch and the odd private test - which are often rather secretive affairs - very little stirs in the world of motorcycle racing, and the events which are taking place are no substitute for real motorcycles posting real times on real tracks. So fans are forced to grit their teeth and hang on, waiting for better times.
That wait is almost over. On Wednesday, January 26th, the 2011 pre-season kicks off - more or less - officially, when the first official World Superbike test starts at the spectacular Portimao circuit on Portugal's Algarve coast. All of the major World Superbike contenders will be present, with the exception of the factory BMW team of Leon Haslam and Troy Corser, who are currently on their way to Australia, where they will be taking part in a private test.
