WSB: Jerez confirmed as penultimate round

Jerez has been confirmed as the penultimate round of this year’s Superbike World Championship as the FIM release the finalised calendar for 2017.

It was well rumoured that the Andalusian circuit would take on the round marked ‘To be announced’ on the provisional calendar, but the circuit finally confirmed they would host the event in a post on their website last month.

Instead of the date originally on the calendar, the round will now take place between 20^th-22^nd October instead of the week before.
