2011 British Superbike Championship season
Encyclopedia
The 2011 British Superbike season was the 24th British Superbike Championship season. No major rules were changed from the previous year with the showdown section of the season staying and the continuation of the evolution class below the main superbike class. The field had greater quality than the year before with champion Ryuichi Kiyonari
returning to defend his title on the HM Plant Honda
alongside the returning former British superbike champion Shane Byrne
. This meant that Josh Brookes
moved onto the lone Relentless by TAS Suzuki, with Michael Laverty
and Tommy Hill
moving to a new swan Yamaha
team. The major signing was that of former Moto GP rider John Hopkins
who joined the Samsung crescent Suzuki squad alongside Jon Kirkham.
The championship was tightly contested between Bryne, Hopkins and Hill, each taking their share of race wins, but it wasn't until the final round at Brands Hatch
that the title would be decided. The first race was edgy with Michael Laverty
taking the victory, the second race of the weekend would however swing the title towards Tommy Hill
, Hopkin's Samsung Suzuki cut out in the early laps forcing him to restart the bikes electronics and ride from the back of the field to 12th place. It was all down to the final race, whoever finished first between Hopkin and Hill would win the title. Hopkins made a good start and lead Hill for almost the entire race, however on the penultimate lap Hill would pass Hopkins, leaving it until the final corner of the final lap Hopkins went up the inside to retake second however he could not hold the line and Hill squeezed up the inside to beat Hopkins to the title by 6 thousandths of a second (0.006s) to become the 2011 British Superbike Champion.
