Laguna Seca keeps place on WSBK calendar after all:
Laguna Seca has been added to the 2019 World Superbike schedule despite previously announcing it would not host the championship next season.
The Californian venue issued a statement in November to say that WSBK would not race in North America at all in 2019, and a subsequent provisional calendar had the track missing from its usual mid-July slot.
South African track Kyalami was poised to fill this gap and host a WSBK round for the first time in nearly a decade.
But in a revised 2019 calendar released on Wednesday, Laguna Seca was listed as the ninth round on 12-14 July - one week earlier than the 'TBA' slot on the previous draft.
The remainder of the schedule remains unchanged, with Phillip Island opening the season on February 22-24 and Qatar again hosting the finale on October 24-26.
