The Official Review of the 2011 FIM Supersport World Championship is packed with spectacular action from every round of a season which delivered edge-of-the-seat viewing at every race.

There were also outstanding performances from Gino Rea, Broc Parkes, returning to race-winning form for the first time since 2008, and the incredible David Salom who, despite no wins, finished runner-up with an almost unbelievable consistency which saw him finish every race, and never lower than eighth!
