After a positive start to its campaign in Friday's free-practice, the Aruba.it #racing - Ducati team took yet another podium with #chazdavies in Race 1 at Aragon (Spain), home of the third round of the 2018 WorldSBK championship. The Welshman, who started from 11th position due to a crash during Superpole, showed his character by storming back through the field – twice, due to a restart – until he reached the leading group, then defended second position under the checkered flag.
Marco Melandri rode another solid race, in which he registered the fastest lap after taking pole position. The Italian consistently rode at the top, but unfortunately faced a small issue braking into turn 1 in the last lap, which caused him to briefly go off the track, and settled for fourth position.
Michael Ruben Rinaldi enjoyed a strong debut with the Aruba.it #racing - Junior Team, as he rode within distance of the leading group for half the race to finish in eighth position. The Aruba.it #racing - Ducati and the Aruba.it #racing - Junior Team will resume action on Sunday, April 15th, at 09:45 (CET) for a warm-up session ahead of Race 2, which is scheduled to start at 13:00 local time.
