Description
The final event of the weekend at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve brings the World Supersport field back to the "Rollercoaster" for a 17-lap season-defining battle. The primary challenge for Race 2 is the rising track temperature, which typically makes the Portimão surface greasier and more taxing on the rear Pirelli tires compared to the morning sessions. The objective for the field is to disrupt the momentum of Valentin Debise and the ZXMOTO 820RR, which dominated Saturday’s action with a historic debut win.
Strategically, the race is expected to be a tactical chess match. The goal for the front-row starters, including pole-sitter Federico Caricasulo, is to manage their pace in the early laps to ensure they have enough rubber left for the steep, high-traction climb out of the final corner. The tactical focus for the Orelac Racing VerdNatura team is to put Jaume Masia in a position to slipstream his way to the front on the 970-meter main straight. With the championship standings incredibly tight, the ultimate goal is to secure maximum points before the series heads back to its European heartland.

Result Description
Valentin Debise completed a perfect weekend on Sunday, March 29, 2026, by claiming his second victory in as many days. Debise’s objective was to prove Saturday’s win was no fluke, and he did so by managing a razor-thin lead over a charging pack. He crossed the line just 0.720 seconds ahead of his nearest rival, securing the first-ever "double" for the ZXMOTO Factory Evan Bros Racing team and cementing the Chinese manufacturer as a premier-class powerhouse.
The race for the podium was a spectacular display of technical skill. Jaume Masia produced a masterclass in overtaking, carving through from the second row to secure second place on his Ducati. He finished just ahead of Albert Arenas, who grabbed the final podium spot by a mere 21 milliseconds over Lucas Mahias. The battle for fourth was equally intense, with Mahias edging out his teammate Roberto García at the line. Further back, Philipp Oettl took sixth, while Can Öncü recovered from his Saturday misfortune to finish eighth. Despite Debise's dominance in Portugal, Masia's consistent podium finishes allowed him to leave Portimão with a 6-point lead over Arenas in the championship standings.
