The final round of the 2014 eni FIM Superbike World Champion takes place this weekend at the Losail International Circuit in Doha, Qatar.
For the first time in WSBK history, the event will be held under floodlights thanks to the impressive lighting system that powers the entire venue, allowing riders to race under conditions that are similar to daylight.
The Qatari circuit makes its return to the WSBK calendar after a four years absence to host the series for the sixth time as Losail International Circuit hosted this championship from 2005 to 2009.
In the Qatar round, there will be only two categories, Superbike and Supersport.
As the title in the Supersport category is already secured by the Dutch rider Michael Van Der Mark (Pata Honda team) at Jerez, all the tension will be focused in the superbike category, as the title is not decided yet.
This years' championship is the closest championship finishes in the Superbike history. The two front leaders, Tom Sykes and Sylvain Guintoli head the final season weekend separated by only 12 points, so both of them have chances to clinch the title.
The Kawasaki Racing Team rider, Sykes, is the SBK defending champion and the runner up in 2012 season whereas the French rider Guintoli of the Aprilia Racing Team finished third in 2013 season.
Both riders have previously raced at Losail with Guintoli being the more experienced of the two at this track, having raced there five times before, including one race at night in 2008 in the MotoGP class where he was 15th at the flag.
