Federico Caricasulo took his first win of the season last time out in Misano and the Italian is keen to repeat that success in Portugal this weekend, as the WorldSSP protagonists finally return to action after the long summer break. Lucas Mahias heads to Portimo determined to return to the podium after a DNF last time out in Misano, while Alfonso Coppola is also looking for a return to form after a crash dashed his hopes of a second consecutive points scoring finish in Italy.
