There are only two races left in the Supersport World Championship, Lucas Mahias is 9 points ahead of the withdrawn Kenan Sofuoglu and 32 over Sheridan Morais, and he has just set the best time this Friday.
The situation is favorable at the end of the second free practice session for Lucas, who to be crowned on Sunday must total 25 points more than the second in the Championship, before the final race which will take place in Qatar on November 5.
Kenan Sofuoglu is absent (triple pelvic fracture) and Sheridan Morais 0.7 behind Mahias this Friday evening. So all the lights are green.
