The Cremona Circuit will host the Superbike World Championship test next year, which will take place during the weekend of September 20-22, 2024. The Lombard track, along with the Hungarian Balaton Park track, is one of two new entrants on the World Championship schedule, and both will need to be approved in advance, which will happen soon. The Cremona track, designed by Studio Dromo and located in San Martino del Lago, some 30 kilometers from the city, will replace Imola in the Superbike calendar, alongside Misano, which will host the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix between June 14 and 16, 2024. To the geography of the circuits of the great international motorsport events is added another Italian track, a boon for fans who, next year, can move in five months from Imola (Formula 1, 17-19 May) to Mugello (motogp, 31 May-2 June)from Misano (Superbike, 14-16 June) to Monza (Formula 1, 30 August-1 September), then again to the Romagna circuit dedicated to Marco Simoncelli (motogp, 6-8 September) and finally, in fact, to the Cremona round of the derivative series. The Cremona circuit, a 3,702 meter circuit with 13 turns, evokes the name Angelo Bergamonti, to whom it is dedicated. Bergamonti, born in 1939, was a colleague and adversary of Giacomo Agostini with Mv Agusta when he perished in a fall on the Riccione city track on April 4, 1971, a rainy Palm Sunday.
