WORLD SUPERBIKE WORLD SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 10/SEPTEMBER 7, 2014 JEREZ CIRCUIT/JEREZ, SPAIN P56 has 352 points and eight wins so far, while Guintoli has 321 points (two wins), Rea 285 points (four wins) and Melandri 267 (five wins). At 85 points behind with only 100 points available to the one who wins them all, Melandri is now almost, but not quite math- ematically, out. At 67 points be- hind Sykes, Rea is probably out of the running, unless both Guin- toli and Sykes have nightmares. Guintoli, the man who seldom wins but is always there, had a very good weekend in his chase to Sykes, even with his teammate tackling his points total hard in each half of the Jerez game. But Sykes, the ever-present and still motivated Sykes, has 31 points of an advantage and something to fight harder for. Two rounds, four races to go, and as Jerez helped to show - nothing is over yet. CN RACE ONE 1. Marco Melandri (Aprilia) 2. Sylvain Guintoli (Aprilia) 3. Chaz Davies (Ducati) 4.
