The Cork based Team #109 Retro Traffic Kove outfit head into to this weekend's final double-header in the FIM Supersport 300 World Championship with their teenage sensation Benat Fernandez on the cusp of championship success. The 17-year-old has a ten point advantage at the head of the championship standings and with a maximum of 50 points on offer across the two races, he knows tomorrow's (Saturday) first race is crucial with three other title protagonists also seeking championship success in Jerez (Spain) for what is the last ever Supersport 300 race before its replaced by the new World Sportbike class in 2026.

Australian Carter Thompson (Kawasaki Ninja 400) is his closest rival with Spain's David Salvador (Kawasaki Ninja 400) and Italian Matteo Vannucci (Yamaha YZF-R3) a respective 22 and 46 points adrift of Fernandez (Kove 321 RR-S).
