Description

Jonathan Rea has picked up where he left off with a trouble-free victory in the Portimao opener to further extend his World Superbike championship lead to over 100 points.
The #65 clinched his 65th career World Superbike victory with a flawless performance at the Portuguese circuit comfortably ahead of Aruba.it Racing Ducati’s Marco Melandri. Rea, who won five out of six races going into the summer break, now leads the championship by 104 points from Chaz Davies. Melandri had been under huge pressure for second place during the opening half of race one from Lorenzo Savadori but the Milwaukee Aprilia rider crashed out at the start of lap 12 at Turn 1 while chasing his fellow Italian. Savadori’s off promoted Pata Yamaha’s Michael van der Mark on to the podium with third place, comfortably ahead of Chaz Davies in fourth.
Pole-sitter Eugene Laverty saw his race ended by the third corner when he was taken out by Xavi Fores on the Barni Ducati, who out-braked himself and collected the Milwaukee Aprilia rider on the opening lap.
