Kenan Sofuoglu leads the way in the World Supersport class at Portimao, taking over the lead in the dying minutes of practice. The Ten Kate Honda rider demoted Cal Crutchlow into 2nd, ahead of the man challenging Crutchlow for the title, Eugene Laverty. The difference between the two championship contenders was minimal, though, less than a tenth of a second. Mark Aitchison rounds out the top four.
