Sepang International Circuit (SIC) and Two Wheels Motor Racing (TWMR) has jointly announced that the season opener for the 2021 Malaysia Superbike Championship (MSBK), originally scheduled to be held from August 6 to 8, has had to be postponed until further notice.
A new calendar will be announced once the Championship receives confirmed directions from the relevant authorities.
Quote from Azhan Shafriman Hanif, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of SIC:
As the host, we have no choice but to postpone the MSBK Round 1 and subsequent rounds to a later date. This is due to the current Covid-19 cases in Malaysia. The safety and well-being of those involved with MSBK are our top priority. SIC and TWMR will be back in action, but we need to do our part to break the chain of this pandemic.
Quote from Ron Hogg, Director, Two Wheels Motor Racing:
While we are equally disappointed that the season opener has had to be postponed, we are firm that the health and safety of all our participants and race officials must be our top priority. As such, we will be working hand-in-hand with the Sepang International Circuit to release a new MSBK calendar as soon as possible.
In the meantime, we continue to urge everyone to abide by the health guidelines, get vaccinated, and stay safe!
