The FIM Supersport World Championship closed off their Czech Round weekend with a fascinating Race 2 fight. Valentin Debise (EASTROC ZXMOTO Factory Evan Bros Racing) was fastest in WorldSSP’s final battle at the beloved Autodrom Most, topping the podium for his second double of the WorldSSP season so far. Claiming Most’s signature glassware from P2, Can Oncu (Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing) took his best shot at Debise but took P2, his fifth consecutive podium. Trailing the duo, Oli Bayliss (PTR Triumph Factory Racing) got onto the podium for the second time this season, and the first time since the season opener.

CHAMPIONSHIP DRAMA

Debise sailed ahead of the congestion for the holeshot after starting in P1, while Oncu skirmished with Lucas Mahias (GMT94 Yamaha) behind him on the first lap. Several times, the #61 looked up the inside of the #94 in front of him, only to make his way past with a smooth double overtake on the run into Turn 1 before Debise took back the lead by the end of the first sector. Albert Arenas (AS BLU CRU Racing Team) hung near the front of the lead group until he ran wide on Lap 4 to fall to P5 behind Masia. The pair scrapped for P5 until the #5 slipped by on the inside on Lap 7, but he made contact with Arenas, causing the Championship leader to fall and leading the FIM WorldSBK Stewards to hand him a Long Lap Penalty. After he took the penalty on the subsequent lap, he fell to P9. He later took a literal fall on Turn 15, failing to take advantage of Arenas’s tumble.

TITLE POINTS GAP CRUMBLES to 19

Roberto Garcia (GMT94 Yamaha) joined the lead group late on and made brief appearances in the top three until a Turn 20 crash ended his round early with his second crash of the weekend. Debise, Oncu and Mahias weathered the storm, the lead pair slightly clear, while Mahias had his hands full with a fight for P3 with Tom Booth-Amos (PTR Triumph Factory Racing) and Oli Bayliss (PTR Triumph Factory Racing). The podium picture changed once again as the #69 and the Frenchman both crashed on Turn 1 of the penultimate lap, ending Mahias’s race early, and sending Booth-Amos to P16. It was Debise who came across the line first after a final lap move on Turn 15-16, spelling his fifth win of the season and moving to P2 in the Championship. Can Oncu (Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing) looks back to his 2025 pace as he now has five podiums in a row, and Oli Bayliss chased the pair home for his second podium of the season.

THE INDONESIAN BACK IN THE TOP FIVE

Aldi Mahendra (AS BLU CRU Racing Team) finished in P4 for his best result since his podium effort Down Under, ahead of Matteo Ferrari (WRP Racing), who crossed the line just two hundredths behind the #57. Jeremy Alcoba (Kawasaki WorldSSP Team) crossed the line in P6 took his second-best result so far this season, which would have been his best since last round, however he was demoted a total of two places as he was penalised one position by the FIM WorldSBK Stewards, once for exceeding track limits on the final lap at Turn 2, and then another position for an unsafe rejoin later on Turn 1.

FARIOLI FINDS PACE AT MOST

Alessandro Zaccone (Ecosantagata Althea Racing Team) crossed the line a tenth slower than Alcoba, but with the penalty, he takes P6. Three seconds behind his fellow Ducati, Philipp Oettl (Feel Racing WorldSSP Team) took P7. Filippo Farioli (VFT Racing) finished half a tenth slower than Oettl, but with Alcoba now occupying P8, The Italian takes P9, still good for his second top ten of the season, both recorded here at Most. Rounding out the ten fastest riders, Federico Caricasulo (EASTROC ZXMOTO Factory Evan Bros Racing) made it two ZXMOTO riders in the top ten.
