Stunning double by Melandri in Race 2 at Phillip Island; unlucky race for Davies, crashed out while in first position
After taking the opening race of the 2018 #WorldSBK Championship yesterday, the Aruba.it #racing - Ducati team did the double at Phillip Island (Australia) with #marcomelandri. The race itself went down to the wire and was decided by only 0.021 seconds. It's Melandri's 22nd win in #WorldSBK, which makes him the most successful Italian in the production-based series. #chazdavies, on the other hand, rode a strong yet unlucky race, and was forced to retire after crashing during lap 12 at turn 9 while he was in the lead.
Race 2 was characterized by a mandatory tire change, a decision taken by Race Direction for safety reasons, which prompted the riders to pit-in from lap 10 to 12. At the end of lap 11, both Davies and Melandri had a near perfect pit-stop and rejoined the race in first and second position respectively. While trying to build a gap at the front, however, the Welshman crashed out, while Melandri fought in a group of three riders at the top, making the difference down the stretch.
After one round, Melandri (50 points) and Davies (16 points) are respectively first and seventh in the championship. The Aruba.it #racing - Ducati team will be back on track on March 23-25 at Buriram (Thailand) for the second round of 2018.
