This upcoming weekend, the fifth round of the FIM Supersport World Championship will take place at the Autodrom Most in the Czech Republic. After a very successful weekend at the Cremona Circuit, Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing heads to the Czech circuit for the next challenge with World Championship leader Stefano Manzi and Yuki Okamoto.

The 4.2-kilometer-long Autodrom Most has been on the World Superbike calendar since 2021. The circuit features no fewer than 21 corners—twelve right-handers and nine left-handers. While the past four race weekends at the Czech circuit were all held in July, this year Most appears on the calendar two months earlier.

Stefano Manzi heads to Most as the championship leader with a 44-point advantage. The Italian claimed his first double victory of the season in Cremona and has three wins and five second-place finishes to his name after eight races. This means he has stood on the podium in every race in 2025 and has not finished lower than second. Just like in previous race weekends, the goal in Most will again be to further extend his lead in the World Supersport championship.

Yuki Okamoto continues to make progress and was rewarded in Cremona with his first two World Championship points. The Japanese rider is getting to know the World Supersport Championship and the Yamaha YZF-R9 better and better, even though Autodrom Most will once again be a circuit he has never ridden before. For him, the goal this coming weekend will once again be to improve his pace in every session.

Stefano Manzi:
“It’s lovely when we don’t have big breaks in between races, so I’m very that we have another race weekend ahead of us. Most is a track that I like, so I’m looking forward to go there again. The weekend in Cremona was amazing for us, so I hope to be able to continue in this way. Let’s hope for another good weekend again.”

Yuki Okamoto:
“The Autodrom Most will be another new circuit for me. After the race weekend in Cremona I stayed in Spain and spent most of the time training. I want to use this experience for the upcoming race weekend, and hopefully the team and I can make a big step.”

Kervin Bos – Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing team manager:
“We’re happy to be back in Most. The weather forecast looks good, and it’s always interesting to race here because it’s a beautiful circuit with a great crowd, which makes racing even more enjoyable. The momentum is clearly on our side, and we want to keep it going. Stefano is currently in top form, and of course, we need to maintain that. Yuki is on an upward trajectory, and with him we aim to finish in the points again. The team and the riders are ready, so everything is in place to make it another great weekend.”

The race weekend at the Autodrom Most begins on Friday morning with a free practice session, followed by the Superpole session starting at 13:55 in the afternoon. On Saturday morning, there will first be a warm-up session, after which Race 1 over 19 laps will begin at 12:35 in the afternoon. On Sunday, the same schedule applies as on Saturday, with a warm-up session in the morning and Race 2 starting at 12:35 in the afternoon.
