Description

Jonathan Rea has seen off a spirited fight from Michael van der Mark to clinch a second consecutive double victory.
With van der Mark starting from the race two grid pole and Rea, winner in race one, starting in ninth the Dutch rider looked to maximise his advantage at the front as the Kawasaki rider fought his way up the order. Rea, who initially made a strong start up to sixth place through the opening three turns, was dropped back behind Chaz Davies after being forced to sit up by Lorenzo Savdori ahead of him on lap two. The defending World Superbike champion regained his composure to trade overtakes with Davies before passing Tom Sykes and Marco Melandri on consecutive laps to get up to second at mid-race distance.
Rea got the move for the lead completed with three laps to go thanks to a smart undercut between Turns 2 and 3 before holding off van der Mark to take a hard-fought victory. The triumph marks Rea’s fourth consecutive victory to notch up back-to-back doubles at Laguna Seca and Misano.
Despite the frustration of losing out on a possible third win of the season, van der Mark held on to second place for the factory Yamaha squad ahead of Melandri who had closed the gap while the front two were fighting for position.
