        And here we are, ready for the final round of the SBK triple-header - Portim&atilde;o. What kind of track is the Autodromo do Algarve? A fast, spectacular, technical and demanding one, with its ups and downs, blind spots and jumps. A combination that clearly suits Johnny Rea, the winner of twelve races in Portugal. Even with the Honda &ndash; not to take anything away from the Fireblade he rode to victory &ndash; and then with the Kawasaki. Yes, the 2020 triple win confirms just how well the Northern Irishman and his Ninja are able to interpret one of the championship&rsquo;s best-loved tracks. But will this be true again this year? Will the Atlantic Ocean boost the Cannibal&rsquo;s share price, the rider not having won a race since Assen? The hypothetical favourite, number 1 is chasing Toprak Razgatlioglu, the Turkish ace currently 20 points ahead in the standings. Considering that the young rider from Ballymena debuted in the production-derived class in 2008 and that his CV at this track is what it is&hellip; if he can&rsquo;t do better than his direct rival, will it be game over? Razga stronger in the head-to-head, Redding and Rinaldi with nothing to lose  This year it&rsquo;s like this, at least for now. In a head-to-head, Toprak beats Johnny. With a few exceptions, Razgatlioglu is the man who makes the definitive move in a duel with Rea. And holds it to the line. Unless a Ducati is in the mix, the V4 R of Scott Redding or Michael Ruben Rinaldi. Portim&atilde;o could actually be a good track for the Aruba duo, the Englishman and the Italo-Venezuelan also among the favourites this weekend. Number 45 is still in the title fight, mathematically-speaking. He&rsquo;s also suffering less than the leading pair, as he&rsquo;s under less pressure in terms of the expectations. So, to sum up, Rea has seen more success in Portugal than anyone. OK. But Razgatlioglu is going like a bullet train. And the two factory Ducati riders might tip the balance as far as the R1 and ZX-10RR are concerned. This is all pure theory though, so we&rsquo;ll see what happens on track. Stay tuned.

<p>The undulating Portuguese track is historically a hunting ground for the Cannibal, who needs to make up 20 points to Razgatlioglu. In case of defeat, will the six-time champ be waving the white flag?</p>
