The2019 Superbike World Championship (known as 2019MOTULFIM Superbike World Championship for sponsorship reasons) was the 32nd season of theSuperbike World Championship.
A new race format was introduced for the 2019 season.[1] As in2018, two normal length races (Race 1 and Race 2) were held – one each on Saturday and Sunday (Friday and Saturday in Qatar). A third race, a ten lap sprint named the Superpole Race,[2] was held on the final morning of the weekend before Race 2. The starting grids for Race 1 and the Superpole Race were determined by a single 25-minute Superpole Qualifying session. The grid for Race 2 featured the top nine riders in the Superpole Race in the order in which they finished followed by the remaining riders sorted by their Superpole Qualifying times.[3]
A provisional 13-event calendar (of which one race was unconfirmed) was announced on 13 November 2018,[4] with one round change from 2018 as the Czech round atBrno was replaced by a round atJerez, to be held in June. As well as this, the round atDonington Park was moved from May to July, with theMisano round moving forward into June to accommodate this. On 19 December 2018, the thirteenth round was confirmed atWeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, having initially been dropped for 2019.[5]
An 18-rider provisional permanent entry list was released byDorna Sports on 11 January 2019.[8]
