Bad boy Australian Josh Brookes - runner up in 2010 and determined to battle his way to the top, no matter what. Ex BSB champ, Shane 'Shakey' Byrne - fans' favourite and all round good guy, desperate to regain the crown for prides sake. Michael Laverty - the Irish Flyer aiming to put his stamp on the title for his country. Ex Moto GP star John Hopper Hopkins - back to racing after overcoming his personal demons and substance abuse problems, is the first American with a realistic chance of winning the title... and British hero Tommy Hill - who so spectacularly lost the title in 2010 by one small error, and absolutely determined to prove himself the British Superbike champion.
