Motorcycling Australia (MA) has advised of two changes to the 2015 Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK) calendar.

Round three at Wanneroo, WA, will now be held on 22-24 May and round four at Symmons Plains, TAS, will now be held on 4-6 September.

Moved forward one week, MA believes the new date will make the traveling and transport to Western Australia for championship riders a much smoother process.

Tasmania has also been moved forward one week and now coincides with Fathers Day on Sunday, 6 September.

“We believe we’re acting in the best interest of the competitors in making these two date changes,” CEO of MA, Dale Gilson said. “It’s a small change to make the ASBK championship as accessible as possible for as many riders as possible.

“We’ve taken into account other events around the country to avoid any schedule clashing and ultimately we’re trying to make traveling between rounds a smoother process.”

2015 Australian Superbike Championship calendar:
Rd1 – 19-22 February – Phillip Island, VIC (WSBK)
Rd2 – 10-12 April – Morgan Park Raceway, QLD
Rd3 – 22-24 May – Barbagallo Raceway, WA
Rd4 – 4-6 September – Symmons Plains Raceway, TAS
Rd5 – 2-4 October – Phillip Island, VIC
