As the 2016 WSBK season gets underway, the ever-jet-setting Steve English was on the scene at Jerez to the first test. I’m pleased to present his latest photographic stylings for your viewing pleasure.

Above, Leon Haslam was one of the visiting British Superbike riders getting track time in as the Spanish sun bathed the circuit in gold. Also there were Peter Hickman and James Ellison.

Nicky Hayden had a useful first test away from MotoGP, and looked good on the Fireblade.

Nicky isn’t the only former MotoGP rider in WSBK – Karel Abraham has also switched championships.
