The 2015 Pirelli Cup held its third leg at the Clark International Speedway and superbike riders gave their support again despite the unfriendly weather last August 9.

Pirelli Cup riders were classified into two groups based on the displacements of their bikes. The first one was composed of Heavyweight A, Heavyweight B, Heavyweight C, and Middleweight classes. Group 2 featured Middleweight A, Middleweight B, Super Lightweight 390, Super Lightweight A and Super Lightweight B categories.

Race 1 of the first group was red flagged due to riders’ crash and the rain. It was also decided to cancel the first race of Group 2.
