The FIM has revealed the finalised calendar for the 2009 World Superbike Championship, which confirms the return of Imola and the disappearance of the Brands Hatch round.

With a new pit complex and a revised layout, Imola ensures World Superbikes will be visiting Italy on three occasions in 2009.

Unfortunately, Brands Hatch won't be back on the schedule although it attracted one of the biggest crowds of the season. Donington Park will assume the title of being the British WSBK event.
