Leading Australian motorcycle insurer QBE will be the major event sponsor for the Phillip Islands round of the 2014 Superbike World Championship from February 21-23.
"The motorcycle team at QBE is very excited to be the event main sponsor for the 2014 world superbikes. It is a great opportunity to keep QBE top of mind for motorcyclists throughout Australia,” said Michael Gallagher, QBE's National Manager - Motorcycle.
Event organisers expect that world superbike's new cost cutting regulations and the introduction of the EVO class to the WSBK grid will increase competitor numbers.
"We are thrilled to have QBE join Superbike World Championship, at an event we believe will signal the start of a new era for the category,” said Andrew Fox, Circuit Owner. "WSBK is all about real bikes, the bikes we see on the road, being pushed to maximum performance. We look forward to welcoming our fans and the world teams to the QBE round and promise to once again launch the WSBK season in super style at Phillip Island."
