All the 'to be announced' spaces present on October's provisional 2008 World Superbike and Supersport calendar have now been occupied with the release of an updated line-up.


The enlarged 15-round series announced in October contained two new venues, Miller Motorsports Park in the USA and Portimao in Portugal, plus two unidentified events.

Those events have now been named as the Nurburgring, home of the German F1 Grand Prix, on June 15, and Sentul in Indonesia on October 12. Sentul's presence is 'subject to contract' - as is Monza's.

Some reshuffling of the dates has also seen Vallelunga moved forward one week to September 21, while the Portuguese season finale has been pushed back a week to November 2.

The updated calendar confirms that Silverstone and Lausitz will not return in 2008.
