Lucas Mahias has clinched victory in the 2019 World Superspo𒁃rt championship finale in Qatar, as Randy Krummenacher seals the title in fifth place.

With Krummenacher fighting for the world title against Bardahl Evan Bros Yamaha team-mate Federico Cariscaulo and GMT94 Yamaha’s Jules Cluzel, a tense title-decider got underway at the Losail International Circuit with Cluz🌼el darting into the lead.

Clearly feeling the press꧋ure of the title-defining race, both Caricasulo and Krummenacher made early mistakes to drop down the order as Cluzel was chaওsed by Mahias.

But with Krummenacherꦡ knowing he could wrap up the world title finishing directly behind his team-mate the Swiss rider stalked the Itali♌an for the entire race.

Despite Corentin Perolari acting as a potential disrupter late on, Krummenacher held his nerve to 🌳take fifth place to clinch ꦏthe world championship.

Cluzel, who ultimately needed to win in Qatar to stand a𝔉ny chance of stealing the title, missed out to Mahias in second place with the💜 Puccetti Kawasaki rider taking his second win of the year.

With Cluzel missing o𝔉ut in second place, Kallio Racing Yamaha’s Isaac Vinales claimed a third consecutive podium t🏅o cap an impressive end to his rookie campaign in the World Supersport championship.

Caricasul💖o took fourth place to see his title bid come up short with Krummenacher 🥂in fifth place as he passed Perolari at the chequered flag.

Further back Raffaele De Rosa grabbed seventh place on the MV Agusta beating Hikari Okubo on the Puccetti Kawasaki and Kyle Smith on the Pedercini Kawasaki as Ayrton Badovini rounds out the top 10 on the sister Pedercini bi🐠ke.
