Qatar WSS - Race results

Sandro Cortese is the 2018 World Supersport champion after finishing runner-up to Lucas Mahias in Qatar.

Jules Cluzel fell on the final lap while trying to pass title rival Cortese for second place.

Cluzel's night then got even worse when he crashed again, highsiding after crossing a stream of water, meaning Mahias snatches second in the world championship.

The race was delayed due to earlier rain, and reduced from 15 to 12 laps, with some big streams of standing water still present...
