WSS America: Sofuoglu wins Supersport Thriller

Kenan Sofuoglu reignited his title hopes by winning a dramatic World Supersport race at the Miller Motorsports circuit in Utah, USA. The Hannspree Ten Kate Honda rider started the final lap in third position but made two hard and decisive passes to take the win. He started his charge to the front when he dived up the inside of Cal Crutchlow at the hairpin forcing the Yamaha man to run wide and then with three corners to go he pushed his way past Laverty causing the Irishman to sit up his Parkalgar Honda.

Sofuoglu’s victory was his first win since the opening round of the championship at Phillip Island and ends Crutchlow’s and Laverty’s domination of the series during the last five rounds.
