The Motocorsa Racing rookie placed third in the Tissot Superpole Race and Race 2, following a podium in Saturday’s Race 1. WorldSBK reported that the three Estoril results brought his season total to four.

Starting third, Surra dropped to fifth early in the Superpole Race, then moved past Jake Dixon. He gradually closed on Miguel Oliveira, who was running third behind Nicolo Bulega and Iker Lecuona.

On the final lap, Oliveira made a mistake and Surra passed him at Turn 4 to take third. WorldSBK reported that Surra’s four season podiums matched the total of fellow rookie Oliveira.

Race 2 podium follows Bautista’s crash

In Race 2, Alvaro Bautista passed Surra on the opening lap, but Surra reclaimed third at Turn 6 on Lap 2. Bautista later moved ahead again after Surra ran wide at Turn 1 on Lap 13.

Surra remained close, but Bautista crashed at Turn 1 on Lap 17. The incident promoted Surra to third and gave him his third podium of the Estoril round, according to WorldSBK.

Focus turns to Jerez

Surra said he was pleased with the weekend and with his progress, while noting that the upcoming Jerez circuit would be difficult for his riding style. The season’s final round was scheduled for the Circuito de Jerez–Ángel Nieto in Andalucía.
