The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Montmelo promises to bring plenty of action to World Superbike.

The circuit also becomes the sixth different circuit to host a race in Spain, following Jerez, Jarama, Albacete, Valencia and MotorLand Aragon. Therefore, Spain will join Italy in hosting a WorldSBK round at six different circuits.
