WorldSSP 2026 2 2026-03-29 2026-03-29 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. 2464708
