Just a few days after the Tissot Aragon Round, the WorldSBK paddock is already buzzing with excitement for another race weekend at the iconic “Rollercoaster”, as the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimao (Portugal) is known.
Fresh from last Sunday’s double win with victories in Superpole Race and Race-2, Alvaro Bautista arrives in Portugal with a 47-point lead over Toprak Razgatlioglu (Yamaha) in the Superbike World Championship standings.

“We come from a weekend in which we learned a lot, managing to collect important results after a difficult Saturday. This is a track I like a lot and on which the feeling with my Ducati Panigale V4R has always been very good even if it is on this circuit it is not easy to find a setup that works well for all the sectors. The championship? We know what the standings are, obviously, but the objective remains the same: to work well from Friday to always take a step forward and have fun during the races. We’ll do the accounts at the end.”
