Overview
- Toprak Razgatlioglu arrives with a 39-point lead over Nicolo Bulega with 62 points on the table and could clinch the championship on Saturday in his final WorldSBK weekend before moving to MotoGP.
- WorldSBK will host two free press conferences on Thursday at 17:30 and 18:00 local time, first with Razgatlioglu and Bulega and then with Jonathan Rea.
- Jonathan Rea enters his last round as a full-time rider, reflecting on a career of six titles and 119 wins while aiming for solid top-five pace rather than an unlikely victory.
- Stefano Manzi has already sealed the WorldSSP title, while WorldSSP300 holds its last-ever championship round with Benat Fernandez leading by 10 points into two deciding races.
- The Manufacturers’ Championship remains tight with Ducati three points ahead of BMW, adding a parallel fight to the Jerez finale.
