The Superbike Advocates team, which Tommy Bridewell will race for in 2026, has revealed its 2026 livery for the WorldSBK season ahead of its debut in the series later this month.
Portimao has been the location for the livery reveal, as the team takes part in this week’s two-day WorldSBK test ahead of the race at the same Autodromo Internacional do Algarve circuit on 27–29 March.
Superbike Advocates’ first WorldSBK livery uses a mostly black and red colour scheme, with a kind of red ‘camouflage’ pattern on the side fairings, in which sits the Superbike Advocates logo. There are also the colours of the Italian flag accenting the livery on the tail section and front fairing. This isn’t the only flag to feature, as the Australian and UK flags are on the Ducati Panigale V4 R’s two front wings – Australia on the right wing and UK on the left.
The Australian flag points to the team’s country of origin, of course, while the British flag is for its rider, Tommy Bridewell, with whom the team was originally due to contest the 2026 BSB season before announcing in February that it would be switching to WorldSBK from the second round of the season, missing what would’ve been its home round at Phillip Island.
On the opening morning of testing at Portimao, Bridewell was 16th-fastest, just over two seconds off the best pace of Alex Lowes at the top of the times, the Bimota rider being the only one to lap in the 1:40s before 13:00 local time.
