Rea from Sykes in second race thriller

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

In a contest where only 14 riders finished #jonathanrea (KRT) recovered from a high speed crash in race one on Saturday to win his eighth race of the year and Kawasaki’s 100th in Superbike history. #tomsykes (KRT) was a close runner-up, just 1.601 seconds behind Rea after 23 laps, as KRT scored another 1-2 finish.

Jonathan Rea rode one of the most important races of his career to take the second race win at Donington Park, despite having to start from the fourth row of the grid because of his first day no-score.
 
Rea made a superb launch and was able to ride around a first corner blockage that held back the early progress of #tomsykes. Such was Rea’s early pace that he went from tenth on the grid to first place after just one complete lap and one additional corner.
 
Sykes was in fifth place in lap one and eventually got to second place on lap seven. He made up time to Rea’s lead but with the laps counting down Jonathan had enough of an advantage to hold the gap and win his 46th race since he joined #worldsbk.
