Saturday, 12 October 2024 15:00 GMT

The #99 has his first match point with Sunday’s Race 2 in mind, and he needs to leave Portugal with a 50-point margin over his rivals

The 2024 FIM Supersport World Championship title could be decided on Sunday at the Circuito Estoril. Adrian Huertas (Aruba.it Racing WorldSSP Team) holds a 36-point lead over Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team) in second and a 50-point advantage over Stefano Manzi (Pata Prometeon Ten Kate Racing) in third. If Huertas leaves the Estoril Round with a 50-point margin over both, he will be crowned Champion. That means the #99 has to outscore Montella by 14 points to secure the title as well as finish ahead of Manzi in Sunday’s Race 2.

Huertas will be Champion if:

  • He wins the race and Montella finishes fifth or lower
  • He finishes in second, ahead of Manzi and Montella finishes 10th or lower
  • He finishes in third, ahead of Manzi and Montella finishes 14th or Lower
