Can Oncu lead the way in World Supersport Free Practice at Jerez for the season finale, with the Championship leader outside the top ten.
The World Supersport Championship has gone down to the final round of the season. Title contenders Adrian Huertas and Stefano Manzi have two races left of the season to fight for the Supersport crown.
Leading the way on Friday was not a title contender but instead, it was Can Oncu. The Kawasaki rider has had a difficult year but was back on pace on Friday morning in Jerez.
One of three MV Agusta riders inside the top ten was Federico Caricasulo. The Italian ended his session in second place on the Motozoo ME AIR Racing machine.
The top Championship contender in Free Practice was Stefano Manzi as he ended up in third. The Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing rider is 45 points behind Huertas so needs a miracle to win the title.
The second MV Agusta rider inside the top ten was Bo Bendsneyder in fourth place. The Dutch rider only joined MV Agusta Reparto Corse at Estoril and is in his second weekend in the Championship.
French rider Lucas Mahias ended Free Practice in fifth place on the GMT94 Yamaha R6. With the third and final MV Agusta rider in the top ten Marcel Schroetter in sixth place.
British riders John McPhee and Tom Booth-Amos ended Free Practice One just outside the top five. McPhee ended the session in seventh place with Booth-Amos in eighth place.
The top Ducati rider in Free Practice was Jorge Navarro on the Orelac Racing Verdnatura Ducati. The Spaniard ended the session in ninth place.
Completing the top ten was Lorenzo Baldassarri on the WRP by SKM Triumph.
