Aragon WSBK: 'Amazing day' for double man Davies

Welshman Chaz Davies took his first ever World Superbike win for the Goldbest BMW team at Motorland Aragon and then doubled it to make an 'amazing day'.

The former World Supersport Champion controlled both races from the front but admits he was helped with the non-finishes from almost brother in law Eugene Laverty and Kawasaki's Tom Sykes.

“For me it is just an amazing day. I cannot explain how happy I am. What a weekend! My first victory with BMW and then the double win - this is something I was hoping to achieve this year but I did not expect it to happen this early. I want to thank BMW and everybody who supported me," said Davies.

"I knew coming here that we are going to be strong. BMW has done a fantastic job over the last month we had off since Australia, and everybody was working very hard. In addition, I now really feel that the RR is mine, I feel so comfortable on it.

"In race one, the DNFs by Tom and Eugene definitely made it easier. In race two it seemed that I had a comfortable lead, but to be honest I had to push a lot. One of the most impressing things is the fact that we have done a lot of testing in Jerez but not here in Aragón, where nearly everybody else has been.

"So to win with that up against us, is quite impressive and it is credit to the work BMW has done. We will now keep being focused, continue to work hard and look forward to Assen, another race track I really like.”
