WSBK & WSSP TV Coverage (Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit, Indonesia)
With only 30 points between the title contenders - PATA Yamaha's Toprak Razgatlioglu (TUR) and Kawasaki's Jonathan Rea (GBR) - and a total of 62 points available over the weekend, it has all come down to the final round at the newly certified Mandalika Circuit, Indonesia.
It will be a steep learning curve for all riders and a mistake from Rea could not only seal the Championship for Yamaha, but allow Ducati's Scott Redding to close the gap to the runners-up medal.
