Kenan Sofuoglu launched himself back to the top of the World Supersport leader board with the race win at BRNO. Sofuoglu's win was made more dramatic due to the fact that Eugene Laverty was forced to retire, and fell 22 points behind the new season leader.
Sofuoglu battled with Joan Lascorz up until the final lap before taking the race 1 win. Lascorz moves into second place ahead of Laverty on the overall standings. Sofuoglu now has 183, Lascorz has 168, and Laverty has 161.
Laverty pulled off the track during his sixth lap with mechanical problems. The retirement is especially costly since the WSS season is coming to a close in just four more races.
Chaz Davies earned his first podium finish of the season on his Triumph motorcycle. Gino Rea also achieved his best result of the season with a fourth place finish.
