The GRT Yamaha Official WorldSSP Team enjoyed a superb Sunday in a hot and humid Buriram, Thailand at Round 2 of the 2018 FIM Supersport World Championship. Lucas Mahias had been the man to beat all weekend and - starting from pole position - was involved in a spectacular battle for the race win that came right down to the line. The man from Mont-de-Marsan gave it his all before crossing the line in second, just missing out on his second win of the season by 0.048s, and he is now the joint leader of the WorldSSP Championship standings with 45 points from the first two races. His teammate Federico Caricasulo made sure it was a day to celebrate for the team as he also put in an excellent performance to finish in third, just 1.213s off the race winner, to secure his first rostrum of the season and the maiden double podium for the team.
