Finally! The Superbike World Championship returns to action with the tenth event of the season in Portugal. The spectacular layout of Portimao It is the ideal place to attack the last four appointments of the season and the first after more than two months of total inactivity in the contest.

Jonathan Rea He will return to the charge ready to reap his fourth crown in the WSBK, becoming the most successful rider in the world championship of motorcycles derived from the series. To achieve this, you will not have to do more than endure the pull and manage your income in general. The Northern Irishman has 370 points, 92 more than his immediate pursuer with 200 points to be distributed until the end of the season.

All or none against Rea

The second classified in the general is Chaz davies. The Briton has been in recent years the only rival against whom Rea could be measured in relative equality, but the lack of development of the Ducati Panigale R now coupled with the injuries suffered by the number 7 and that will make him arrive impaired. Portimao have almost put the rest of the year on a tray for Rea.

Third in contention is Michael van der Mark. The Dutchman led his Yamaha to third place overall, leading Tom Sykes by 30 points and placing himself behind Davies' goals. Every time the young rider is more established in the category and will undoubtedly be a rival to beat during the coming seasons.

For now, Rea was born in 2017 an undeniable double in Portuguese lands. The statistics once again give the leader of the general classification as the undisputed candidate for victory in a season in which not even a regulation designed to retain his momentum has been able to stop him.
