Alvaro Bautista needs just two points in order to retain his WorldSBK title while Toprak Razgatlioglu needs to win all three races just to stand a very small chance.

The🎃 factory Ducati rider, winner of a staggering 24 races so far this season, which is 18 more than Razgatlio🧸glu, completed his fifth hat-trick of the season last time out Portimao.

Bautista would have wo🀅n the title had Razgatlioglu not finished second in one of those races at Portimao, however, the Yamaha rider managed to give himself a very slender chance by doing just t꧅hat. 

Had it not been for some inconsisten♐t performances over recent r🌼ounds, Bautista would have won the title much earlier, but although that hasn’t happened, finishing 14th of better in either of the two feature races will be enough, as would be finishing eighth in the Superpole Race.
