Jeremy Alcoba (Kawasaki WorldSSP Team) led the FIM Supersport World Championship field when the red flag was waved, ending the season’s final Race 2 prematurely. Alcoba closes 2026 with an insane run of form, landing his fourth win in six races. Dominique Aegerter (Kawasaki WorldSSP Team) showed tremendous speed, following his teammate into Parc Ferme for the silver medal. Matteo Ferrari (WRP Racing) finished the season with his third podium of the campaign. With that, WorldSSP closes the book on a sensational 2026 season which has featured 15 riders on the podium, a record in the class.
ARENAS TO THE MEDICAL CENTRE
Albert Arenas (AS BLU CRU Racing Team) shot off the line from P3 to take the holeshot into Turn 1, and later Tom Booth-Amos (PTR Triumph Factory Racing) got up into the top three places at Turn 6 of the opening lap. He then tried a similar move on Arenas and Oncu on Lap 2, but he got twisted up on the brakes, and collided with the #75, sending both bikes tumbling. Arenas was taken to the medical centre where he was later diagnosed with multiple contusions.
A MAD DASH TO THE FINISH IN 2026
Valentin Debise (EASTROC ZXMOTO Factory Evan Bros Racing), Can Oncu (Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing), Matteo Ferrari (WRP Racing), and Jeremy Alcoba (Kawasaki WorldSSP Team) snatched up the newly vacated positions at the front, as they all saw themselves on the top step of the podium in the final race of the year. Both Kawasaki bikes charged up the grid from a P5 start for #52 and a P7 start for #77, with both riders into the top four by Lap 7. When Jorge Navarro (PTR Triumph Factory Racing) crashed out at Turn 8, of Lap 12, a red flag was waved for track conditions. With the race past the 2/3rd point, it was brought to a close early. Alcoba ended the season with a fourth win of the campaign, clinching third in the Riders’ Championship away from the #61. The #77 finished P2 when the race was brought to an end, earning his first podium since Phillip Island 2022. Closing the season with a P3 result, Ferrari found the bottom step of the podium for the third time in his sophomore campaign in the class.
ONCU CLOSES 2026 IN P4
The Turkish rider had a tough break when the red flag was waved, as he was just two tenths behind Ferrari and was loading up for a fight in the last laps. He finished in P4, losing third in the Championship standings to Alcoba on the final day. Debise started from the back in P8 but led the race with ten laps to go. He fell behind the podium fight by Lap 12, and after a pass with contact, he had to give P7 back to Navarro after the FIM WorldSBK Stewards handed him an Irresponsible Riding penalty. He finished P5 when the race ended, an improvement from P10 in Race 1. Alessandro Zaccone (Ecosantagata Althea Racing Team) battled the Frenchman ahead of him throughout the race and will see his season end with a P6 finish at Jerez.
MAHIAS TAKES P7 FROM RACE 2
French veteran rider Lucas Mahias (GMT94 Yamaha) improved his P11 grid start to P7, beating Spanish teammate Roberto Garcia by a quarter of a second after the #37 climbed up from P16. Rounding off the final top ten of the season, Mattia Casadei (D34G WorldSSP Racing Team) finished in his grid start position of P9, and fellow Italian Filippo Farioli (VFT Racing Yamaha) took P10 from the final WorldSSP race of 2026.
NAVARRO DIAGNOSED WITH MILD CONCUSSION
Eric Fernandez (Cerba Yamaha Racing Team) crashed at Turn 6 of Lap 8 for his third crash in three races. Prior to his red-flag-inducing crash, Jorge Navarro (PTR Triumph Factory Racing) dropped down from starting on pole to sit P5 at the outset of Lap 2, and while he attempted a Turn 6 move on Lap 4, he punted Farioli wide and was obligated by FIM WorldSBK Stewards to drop a position to P7. The #9 crashed at Turn 8 and was later diagnosed with a mild concussion by the medical centre.
