2008 World Superbike track action kicked off at Phillip Island on Tuesday, with the start of a three-day test at the Australian race track.




Hannspree Ten Kate Honda is the only factory-supported team not present at the test, which marks Max Biaggi's Ducati debut.

As usual during the first day of testing, no development tyres were used - meaning that Biaggi and Sterilgarda Go Eleven team-mate Ruben Xaus had the same tyres as the official teams - but that will change on Wednesday.
