Difference between revisions of "World Superbike championship"

Riders from all over the world compete in the Superbike World Championship. The championship is perhaps most closely followed in Italy because of [[Ducati]] and the United Kingdom where [[superbike racing]] has been the most popular form of [[motorcycle racing]]. National-championship superbike racing is conducted in several countries, including the United States, the U.K. and Japan. Riders from Australia and the United States have traditionally been successful in the world championship. No American rider had won a race since [[Colin Edwards]] won the 2002 championship until [[Ben Spies]] joined the series in 2009, but no Americans competed in the series between 2003 and 2007.
