Chaz Davies #7 - Aruba.it Racing - Ducati SBK Team
Race 1 - 2nd Race 2 - 1st
“We’ve come close before now but today we finally did it! This has been my only goal since coming to Ducati and I’m very pleased to have achieved this result here. It’s extremely important to me, to be able to repay Ducati, Aruba and all of the ducatisti with the first win for the Panigale R. I know that everyone has been working tirelessly to obtain this result. Race 1 was also really enjoyable and I was happy with the podium but just disappointed with the position, as I really wanted the win. All in all, it’s been a fantastic day with results that I hope to repeat very soon.”

Race 1 - 1st Race 2 - 2nd
“I did not expect to win here because Tom and Chaz are really fast riders and this is their best circuit. I need to just keep working hard like I have been. We had never worked with the SC0 tyre until this weekend but we had to today. We needed to because of the temperature range but I did not know how hard to push at the beginning of race 2. That was when Chaz made a gap to me. Race 1 was also difficult but I think I rode a clever race because the gap at the beginning was almost up to 1.5 seconds. It is clear Kawasaki has made a big step in the winter, so I am happy.”
Jordi Torres #81 - Aprilia Racing Team - Red Devils
Race 1 - 5th Race 2 - 4th
“These were two intense races. With the low temperatures we made a safe choice in terms of tyres and in fact, in the second part of the race we had a good pace. In Race 2 I used a few laps to adapt and that made me lose touch with the leaders. This is another difficulty of Superbike. Things can change a lot between the two races and it isn't always easy to adapt. In any case we did a good job this weekend. I earned some important points but above all I am continuing to gain experience, learning the secrets of this category. I've even changed my riding style a lot and I just need to take that final step, but I am leaving Aragon with a good feeling.”
