Round 7 of the FIM World Supersport 300 Championship at the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimo proved a challenging one for the bLU cRU riders. All four riders struggled to find a set up to match the characteristics of the technical and demanding Portimo track during free practice, but Galang Hendra Pratama made a significant step forward ahead of Superpole to qualify in 15th position. It was an eventful race on Sunday, as Hugo de Cancellis took the honours as the first bLu cRU rider home in 22nd place, with Dennis Koopman the only other finisher in 33rd position. Galang Hendra was forced to retire with a technical problem and Luca Bernardi crashed out of the race at turn 13 whilst challenging for points with just two laps to go.
