World Superbikes – Portimao results and Magny-Cours TV Times

Ducati's Alvaro Bautista's early dominant form seems a distant memory now with his main adversary Kawasaki's Jonathan Rea taking nine of the last twelve races and Bautista's appearances on the podium being few and far between.

With a championship lead of 91 points heading into this weekend's French Round, Jonathan Rea looks increasingly likely to be adding a fifth world title to his collection.

Whilst still a mathematical possibility (if Bautista were to win every remaining race, and Rea finishing no higher than fourth in all but one, and fifth in that one), realistically only a serious injury would see Bautista clawing back enough points to take the title, but there is all to play for further down the field with just over a race-win's worth of points covering third to sixth places.

In case you missed the races from Portugal, summarised below are the race results including top five finishers.
