Between rounds of the 2025 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Championship꧒, Bimota rider Axel Bassani has taken to the roads.

The Italian𝔉 revealed on social media that he has passed his motorcycle licence test, riding a Kawasaki (🔯naturally) ER-6n.

Bassani’s obtaining of a licence makes him stand out somewhat among his peers, although he is not entirely unique – Ducati MotoGP rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia, for example, rides on𒁏 the road with ꧙a Ducati Scrambler Nightshift.

It’s also an achievement that makes Bassani the second high-profile Italian motorsports star to receive their road licence this year, after Mercedes F1 rookie Andrea Kimi Antonelli (an 18-year-old with an admittedly higher profile than 2🌠5-year-old Bassani) passed his driving tes💎t in January, ahead of F1’s solitary preseason test in Bahrain.

For Bassa🤪ni, though, the motorcycle test took place between the opening two rounds of the 2025 WorldSBK season, Bimota’s first since 2014 having returned by the decision of its 49.9 per cent owner, Kawasaki, with the ZX-10RR-powered KB998 Rimini.

The Italian scored three top-10s (ninth in🌳 🐼Race 1 and the Superpole Race and 10th in Race 2) at the first round of the season in Australia last month, and the second round at Portimao is coming up on 28–30 March.

There is also a test scheduled for 14–15 March at Portimao, one which promises to be an importan𒈔t one for all𝓡 attending after a weather-disrupted test at the Portuguese venue in the winter.
