The World Superbike Championships at Phillip Island set the stage for an extremely exciting season. We saw some of the fastest times recorded at the Phillip Island track, we saw the closest finish in WSBK history, and a whole bunch of bikes tumbling off of the course.
Just about everyone had a tumble at Phillip Island. From veteran riders like James Toseland to debuting riders like Cal Crutchlow, the fast track at Phillip Island sent many riders to the pavement.
On day one, the track was hot, and many riders admitted to using the wrong tires for the conditions. On day two, there was an oil spill on the track that helped a few riders to the ground, and ultimately forced the race to re-start.
Out of all the crashes at Phillip Island, no one was seriously injured. A few bruises and some broken bikes, but all riders were able to walk away and prepare for the next WSBK race.
Here are some of the biggest crashes that occurred at the WSBK season opener at Phillip Island.
