Ryan Vickers has posted his first thoughts after experiencing the famous Phillip Island circuit on a World Superbike machine.

During the opening day of the 2025 Phillip Island World Superbike Test Ryan Vickers was able to experience the famous Australian circuit for the first time.

The British rider is making his World Superbike debut this season with the Motocorsa Racing team. After two years on a Yamaha R1 in the British Superbike Championship Vickers will switch to a Ducati Panigale V4 R in the World Championship.

After impressive tests in Portimao and Jerez, the 25-year-old has continued his momentum to Phillip Island. Vickers ended the afternoon session eighth on the timesheets with a best lap of 1:29.982, placing himself 1.217 seconds behind Nicolo Bulega.

"Day one done here, it was my first experience of Phillip Island, and wow what a circuit it is," Vickers said on social media.

"It's so, so fast I could not get over how fast Turn One was, I still have not got my head around it. Some amazing corners, I really enjoyed my first laps here in Phillip Island.

"The team did a fantastic job and gave me a great bike. We were able to improve a lot at the end and my feeling is getting better and better.

"I am super happy, and I am really looking forward to Day Two here. The weather has been kind to us today so let's hope we can get another solid day in tomorrow!"
