Lebanese rider Fadi Bakhos will race his Ducati 899 in the sixth and final round of the 2017 Bahrain Superbike Championship at Bahrain International Circuit. The championship is run by the Bahrain federation under FIM supervision, with 18 riders from Australia, Britain, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Lebanon.
In round five he qualified 12th, then moved up in the 11-lap race to finish seventh.
His progress has been quick. Before last season his only international experience was one race in Italy, yet he ended last year’s championship with 33 points in seventh place out of 18 riders, a big achievement in his first season at this level.
