Italian tyre manufacturer Pirelli will continue to supply the World Superbike Championship with its control tyres through until the end of the 2015 season after signing a new deal.

The World Superbike deal concludes an exciting time in World Motorsport for Pirelli as the company holds the coveted Formula One sole tyre supply tender for the 2011-3 seasons and has extended its relationship with the World Superbike series which has run since 2004.

The agreement will also include the exclusive supply of tyres for the FIM Supersport World Championship, the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup and the UEM Superstock 600 European Championship.

“We are delighted to be able to renew the contract with Pirelli until the completion of the 2015 season. Eight years of working together have provided results that go way beyond our highest expectations. Once again we can count on a tyre supplier, whose commitment to the product, service and development is second to none," said WSB boss Paolo Flammini.

"The presence of seven manufacturers in World Superbike and full grids in all four classes requires a supplier who can guarantee total excellence from all points of view, andPirelli have fully respected those guarantees, providing stability to the championships and contributing enormously to their success. We would like to thank them for their commitment and support and look forward once again to a long-term future together.”
