Drama and emotion right up to the last second. As can only be expected in the World Superbike Championship, the Superpole race was once again full of emotion right up to the last moment, as was the case with Alvaro Bautista and Jonathan Rea, with the spaniard taking the win after beating the briton on the last lap of the aragonese track.
The current leader in the standings ended up as the winner for the first time this weekend, so it wasn’t all plain sailing, as you can see from the difference with which Bautista beat Rea, 0.179s, and with the overtake that would end up putting him as the winner coming… on the last lap.
Bautista then prevented the former world champion from taking his second win of the weekend, while Toprak Razgatlioglu was third with a gap of 0.475s to the #1, with this once again being a race in which the Titanic Trio once again outclassed (and in what a way) everyone else.
Fourth place went to Andrea Locatelli, who was more than five seconds behind Bautista, while race 1 winner Michael Rinaldi was only fifth.
