The 2011 World Superbike Championship will continue to benefit from live coverage on British Eurosport, it has been confirmed - with the flag set to drop on the new season in less than aജ fortnight's time with the Phillip Island curtain-raiser Down Under in Australia.

The championship will receive live coverage from every round on B🔥ritish Eurosport, with all European rounds being shown in high-definition on Eurosport HD. Every Superbike, Superstock and Supersport race will also be av🌸ailable live online via the Eurosport Player.

Pres🏅enter Tony Carter will once again front British Eurosport's studio coverage and will be joined by Neil Hodgson, James Haydon and a host of other special guests throughout the season, although there will be no studio presentation at Phillip Island. Commentary duo Jack Burnicle and James Whitham will similarly return for another season behind the mic, guiding fans through all the action.

Six Brits will contest the series in 2011 in a changed line-upꦚ that sees Eugene Laverty make the step-up from the World Supersport Championship to join Yamaha Sterilgarda, Cal Crutchlow departing for MotoGP and Shane Byrne returning to the British Superbike Championshi𝕴p.

Last year's runner-up Leon Haslam will compe💧te for BMW alongside two-time WSBK Champion Troy Corser, whilst Leon Camier (Aprilia), Jonathan Rea (Castrol Honda) and Tom Sykes (Kawasaki Racing Team) all remain with the same teams from last season. After finishing n🌌inth on his return to the world championship in 2010, meanwhile, former double champion James Toseland will be racing for the satellite BMW Italia outfit.

Last season at Phillip Island, Haslam got his challenge off to the perfect start, leading the race from lights to chequered flag to claim his maiden WSBKℱ victory.

Eurosport's Australian coverage will begin at 4am UK time on Saturday, 26 February with the Superpole ses🥀sion live on British Eurosport 2, with the two WSBK races and the WSS outing live on British Eurosport the next day followed by highlights on British Eurosport 2 later on Sunday morning and again in the after🍸noon.
