World Superbike bosses have this morning confirmed next year’s calendar which, as expected, begins in late February at Phillip Island and wraps up 13 rounds later under floodlights at Qatar in October.

Britain’s round at Donington Park has been confirmed on May 24 and is followed by the Portimao round in Potugal. Moscow’s round makes a return to the schedule after being canned this year due to Putin’s dodgy foreign policy while the new Chang International track in Thailand makes an appearance in March.
