Xavi Vierge’s 2024 WorldSBK seaso✅n took an upturn in form toward൩s the end as Honda finally showed signs of progress with the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, and the Spanish rider is keen to keep the momentum building.

Vierge ended the 2024 season consistently fighting for top-six results, and he said his goal for next year is ဣfirstly to pick up where he left off.

“It’s good that we finished th♊e season strong,” Vierge🦩 told WorldSBK.com at the recent EICMA.

“I think a good goal is to try and start ꦬthe [2025] season like we finished [2024], trying to fight for top-five results that is good to start, try to believe, and make the steps that we need to be fighting for the podium as soon a🐽s possible.”

Vierge will remain with HRC in 2025, and the Honda Fireblade is essentially unchanged as a base model from 2024, but Vierge has a new crew chief to work with, with that a🧸daptation process beginning at last month’s Jerez test.

“It was good♉ to test in ꧟these two days,” Vierge said.

“It was just after [the Jerez race], so we had good data. We tried all the things that we have tried during all the se🍸ason to make back-to-b🙈acks, to have the data to analyse, to start working with the new people.

“It has been really good and really productive, and now [we have] a big break to understand everything, to work so hard from home, and HRC from Jap💝an, to make the correct steps for next year.”
