Xerox Ducati's Michel Fabrizio has hinted that he might be racing under team orders at this weekend's World Superbike final at Portimao, saying that he will back team-mate Noriyuki Haga all the way.

Fabrizio, who shocked the paddock when he overtook Haga and took away crucial points during a recent round, reckons he also wants to secure two podiums to finish his year on a high.

“I’ve very happy with how my season’s gone and I would like to finish the year with two more podiums. I’m feeling confident and am reassured that the third position that I hold in the standings can’t be taken from me as fourth place Max is too far behind to catch up now. I hope Noriyuki can take the title for Ducati and I’ll be backing him all the way this weekend," said the Italian.
