Sofuoglu for the win at any cost in Turkey



Reigning Champion Kenan Sofuoglu (Mahi Racing Team India Kawasaki) is looking forward to the Turkish Round of the Supersport World Championship, scheduled for September 15th at Istanbul's Intercity Park. The Turk's title defence campaign is in jeopardy after the crash he had during the last race at Nurburgring, that helped current leader Sam Lowes (Yakhnich Motorsport Yamaha) to extend his gap up to 54 points, with three rounds left to be contested. Sofuoglu, from now on, has no other choice but to win every race.

"It was very important for me to win in Germany" he told WorldSBK.com "even though it wouldn't have made a big difference in terms of title chase. I tried all my best to stay with Sam (Lowes) but I pushed too hard and crashed. Of course I was clearly not happy of the DNF."
