Heavy snow showers on Saturday meant that the opening race was pushed back to Sunday morning, with the second race taking place three hours later. After a comfortable first win, Bautista recovered from Rea's overtake in the second race to extend his record. The Ducati rider now holds a 53 point lead at the top of the championship. Hat-tricks in Philip Island, Buriram and Aragon saw the 34-year-old Spaniard equal Neil Hodgson's 16 year record of nine consecutive race wins to start a season, with the victories in the Netherlands setting a new World Superbikes record. 597859
