Description

Jonathan Rea has tied Doug Polen's all-time record of 17 wins in a season, with victory on Friday night at the Qatar World Superbike season finale.

Kawasaki's newly crowned four-time champion snatched the holeshot from team-mate and pole starter Tom Sykes, then inched away from the Englishman to claim his eleventh victory in a row by 1.4s.
Jonathan Rea has tied Doug Polen's all-time record of 17 wins in a season, with victory on Friday night at the Qatar World Superbike season finale.
Behind the ZX-10s, SMR Aprilia's Eugene Laverty helped put himself in the shop window for 2019 by holding third for much of the race, under constant pressure from Pata Yamaha's Alex Lowes. Lowes attacked early on the final lap, Laverty retaliated, but Lowes outbraked the Irishman again at Turn 12.
Laverty was lining up a drag race to the line only to suffer a big front-end scare through the final corner, confirming a hard-fought podium for Lowes.
