<b>WSS: Record win for Sofuoglu.</b>

He racked up pole position and the race win at the final round of the World Supersport Championship at Magny-Cours in France, leaving the championship which he has dominated, on a real high.

The talented Turk will now move into Superbike for the 2008 season with his Hannspree Ten Kate Honda team.

Wrapping up second place in the Championship and claiming second place in the race was Broc Parkes on the SSP Yamaha. The hard riding Aussie lead the early part of the race but was concerned about tyre wear as he had opted to run a softer front than usual.

The final step of the podium went to British rider Craig Jones on the Reve Ekerold Honda. Jones had a huge three way battle with Gianluca Vizziello and fellow Brit Tommy Hill. Jones' tyre smoking style won out giving him his third podium of the season.

Vizziello had to settle for fourth place on the RG Yamaha while Hill was pushed back to fifth place on the SSP Yamaha. The British Superbike rider had been hoping for a podium finish this time out and had been in contention until Vizziello and Jones got involved.
