Kenan Sofuoglu has been a fixture at the top of the championship table this year, and his recently extended gap of 61 points over Fabien Foret of GIL Kawasaki is a formidable step to make up with only five rounds left. The endlessly dramatic season in WSS continues apace, with Katsuaki Fujiwara on the Althea Honda in third, and with big name riders both leaving and joining the series since the last competitive round at Misano in June.
Robbin Harms riding for Stiggy Motorsports Honda is now joined by proven WSS race winner Joshua Brookes, while double WSS race winner
Anthony West has now chosen to race in another class entirely.
After the previous Misano round Barry Veneman on the Pioneer Hoegee Suzuki is sixth, with the top placed regular Yamaha rider proving to be Broc Parkes on the Yamaha World Supersport Team seventh. Radomil Rous Riding for KRTZ IV Yamaha and his team-mate Michal Filla join the regular WSS ranks as wildcard riders this weekend.
The biggest race in the SBK voyage,
Brands Hatch, takes place on August 5, before the traditional August break in the calendar. Round 11 of 13, at EuroSpeedway Lausitz on September 9, brings the series back to life again.
