Description

A truly state-of-the-art venue, the MotorLand Aragon road racing circuit was opened in 2009, to continue the rich local heritage of racing which had seen years of exciting street races in nearby Alcañiz, which hosted events between 1963 and 2003.
In 2011, MotorLand became the fifth Spanish track to host the WorldSBK™ Championship and the first visit of the series to the circuit saw Spaniard Carlos Checa finish on the podium in third place in Race 2. That year Checa rode his Ducati to title glory becoming the first Spaniard to win the WorldSBK™ title.

Jonathan Rea has produced a masterclass to clinch a second race win of the season by fending off a trio of Ducati riders at Aragon.
The defending World Superbike champion has strengthened his points lead with victory in Spain despite being under constant pressure from Chaz Davies, Xavi Fores and Marco Melandri before creeping away over the final five laps to keep clear of the tussling Ducatis. Davies battled back from starting 11th after a crash in qualifying to pinch second place off of Fores at the final corner to leave the Spanish rider on the final step of the podium.
