The 2011 Misano round of the World Supersport Championship is set to see the highest 🌺number of bikes line up on the grid in three years after 38 riders ಌwere published on the entry list.

Having struggled for numbers in 2010, World Supersports has enꦡjoy🍰ed something of a resurgence in 2011, attracting regular grids of approximately 30 riders across 17 full-time teams.

However, this weekend's WSS round at Misano will be further boosted by an influx of wild-card entries, which bring entry levels up to 37 - the highes🔴t number since the 2008 Misano round of the World Supersport Ch♚ampionship.

Among those listed, six 𒁃wild-cards are Italian - Ilario D𒁏ionisi, William Marconi, Stefano Cruciani, Mirko GIansanti, Alessio Velini and Iuri Vigilucci -, while Russian riders Valery Yurchenko and Vladimir Leonov are also included.

Despite the large grid, the field will still be missing its championship leader i﷽n Luca Scassa after he was banned for a testing infringement.

His ParkinGO Yamaha team have since opted not to re🤪place him, with just Chaz Davies - who shares the series lead with Scassa - comꦚpeting on the Yamaha R6.
