There is much anticipation for the Pirelli Portuguese Round, which will begin tomorrow at the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve.
The weekend programme will be unprecedented, with all on-track activities postponed by a few hours to cope with the high temperatures that will characterise the three days at Portimao.
The first free practice sessions will start tomorrow at 1.15 pm (2.15 pm CEST), while Saturday's programme includes Superpole at 2.15 pm (3.45 pm CEST) and Race-1 at 6 pm (7 pm CEST).
Sunday's Superpole Race will start at 2.45 pm (3.45 pm CEST), with Race 2 at the same time as Saturday.
Nicolò Bulega arrives in Portimao in second place in the Superbike World Championship standings with 239 points, 64 less than leader Razgatlioglu (BMW).
Third place in the standings for Alvaro Bautista with 199 points.
Nicolò Bulega (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati #11)
"It's clear that this circuit has very fond memories for me as I won the Supersport World Championship title here last year. I have recovered quite well after the shoulder injury sustained at WDW, but we'll have clearer ideas tomorrow after FP1. That's why I can't wait to get out on track and see what the feeling will be like at a different time than usual".
Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati #1)
"Everyone remembers the battles with Toprak last year at this circuit. If, on the one hand, we are not yet in the condition to think we can be so competitive, on the other hand, at Most, we found very positive sensations that give us a lot of confidence ahead of this round."
It's also an exciting round for the World Supersport Championship, which will run Race-1 and Race-2 (5.30 pm CEST) before the Superbike category for the first time this season. Adrian Huertas and the Ducati Panigale V2 of the Aruba.it Racing WSSP team lead the standings with a 46-point advantage over Montella (Ducati).
Adrian Huertas (Aruba.it Racing WSSP #99)
"I am thrilled to start the second half of the season at the Portimao circuit, where I won the SuperSport 300 World Championship. I consider this a very nice track, and I'm sure it is for all the fans, too. The motivation is high, and we want to do well this weekend".
