2016 Superbike World Championship

The 2016 Superbike World Championship was the 29th season of the Superbike World Championship. Jonathan Rea won his second consecutive Superbike World Championship title at the first race of the last round at Losail, while Kawasaki had secured the manufacturers' title at the previous event at Jerez. Chaz Davies won the most races this season with Davies winning 11 races to Rea's 9.

Race calendar and results In comparison with the previous season, the calendar saw the discontinuation of the Algarve round and the return of Lausitzring; Autodromo Nazionale Monza, which was also due to reappear on 23–24 July as the tenth round—subject to track homologation—was removed from the calendar on 1 April 2016; the round was definitively cancelled the following 29 April, as no replacement venue had ultimately been found.

After changes in the standard weekend timetable, the first race, which was previously run on Sunday along with the second one, was scheduled to be held on Saturday. 2016 Superbike World Championship Calendar Round Circuit Date Superpole Fastest lap Winning rider Winning team 1 R1 Australian Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit 27 February Tom Sykes Davide Giugliano Jonathan Rea Kawasaki Racing Team R2 28 February Chaz Davies Jonathan Rea Kawasaki Racing Team 2 R1 Thai Chang International Circuit 12 March Michael van der Mark Jonathan Rea Jonathan Rea Kawasaki Racing Team R2 13 March Jonathan Rea Tom Sykes Kawasaki Racing Team 3 R1 Aragón Motorland Aragón 2 April Tom Sykes Chaz Davies Chaz Davies Aruba.it Racing – Ducati R2 3 April Chaz Davies Chaz Davies Aruba.it Racing – Ducati 4 R1 Dutch TT Circuit Assen 16 April Tom Sykes Chaz Davies Jonathan Rea Kawasaki Racing Team R2 17 April Jonathan Rea Jonathan Rea Kawasaki Racing Team 5 R1 Italian Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari 30 April Chaz Davies Chaz Davies Chaz Davies Aruba.it Racing – Ducati R2 1 May Chaz Davies Chaz Davies Aruba.it Racing – Ducati 6 R1 Malaysian Sepang International Circuit 14 May Tom Sykes Tom Sykes Tom Sykes Kawasaki Racing Team R2 15 May Davide Giugliano Nicky Hayden Honda World Superbike Team 7 R1 UK Donington Park 28 May Tom Sykes Jonathan Rea Tom Sykes Kawasaki Racing Team R2 29 May Jonathan Rea Tom Sykes Kawasaki Racing Team 8 R1 Riviera di Rimini Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli 18 June Tom Sykes Tom Sykes Jonathan Rea Kawasaki Racing Team R2 19 June Alex Lowes Jonathan Rea Kawasaki Racing Team 9 R1 US Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca 9 July Tom Sykes Chaz Davies Jonathan Rea Kawasaki Racing Team R2 10 July Tom Sykes Tom Sykes Kawasaki Racing Team 10 R1 German Lausitzring 17 September Chaz Davies Chaz Davies Chaz Davies Aruba.it Racing – Ducati R2 18 September Javier Forés Jonathan Rea Kawasaki Racing Team 11 R1 French Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours 1 October Jonathan Rea Tom Sykes Chaz Davies Aruba.it Racing – Ducati R2 2 October Tom Sykes Chaz Davies Aruba.it Racing – Ducati 12 R1 Spanish Circuito de Jerez 15 October Tom Sykes Tom Sykes Chaz Davies Aruba.it Racing – Ducati R2 16 October Chaz Davies Chaz Davies Aruba.it Racing – Ducati 13 R1 Qatar Losail International Circuit 29 October Jonathan Rea Chaz Davies Chaz Davies Aruba.it Racing – Ducati R2 30 October Jonathan Rea Chaz Davies Aruba.it Racing – Ducati
