Mike Di Meglio (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) is the man who leads the way before Misano, with 41 points to Bradley Smith’s (One Energy Racing) 36. But that five-point margin is only a tenth of what they’re fighting for this weekend and Smith is definitely set on taking that lead by the time the field leave the venue. Xavier Simeon (Avintia Esponsorama Racing) isn’t far off Smith either, however, with the Belgian on 29 points, and he’s been gaining form as he’s gained experience. Early leader Niki Tuuli (Ajo MotoE), meanwhile, is on 26 points after his mistake in Austria – losing big ground in one fell swoop is easy when the races are so pivotal. The top four seem likely to fight it out at Misano once again, but it’s far from set in stone.
