The GRT Yamaha Official WorldSSP Team are ready to take on the Imola challenge for Round 5 of the 2018 FIM Supersport World Championship. Current WorldSSP Championship leader Lucas Mahias will be looking to return to the podium and extend his one-point advantage in the overall standings after finishing fourth in the last two races. After a superb start to 2018, his teammate Federico Caricasulo recorded his first DNF of the season in Assen and will want to get his championship aspirations back on track at his home round. European Supersport Cup rider Alfonso Coppola is another local hero looking to continue the progress he has shown so far in 2018 and fight for his first championship points in front of the Italian fans.
