Britain's Chaz Davies reckons he is happy with his first Daytona Sportbike top-five finish at Road Atlanta last weekend and thinks his first race win is not too far away.
Davies got a great start in race one, jumping into a six-bike pack fighting for the lead. Davies spent the majority of the race battling for the third position in an ultra tight lead pack. When the red flag came out on lap nineteen for two downed riders Davies was scored in the fifth position.
After a few chassis tweaks to the Millennium Technologies Aprilia, race two started well with Davies moving immediately to the third spot and battling for the lead. Unfortunately Davies had two on track incidents and lost approximately ten seconds. Davies fought back from as far back as ninth place in the last half of the race to finish in a solid sixth place.
“It was a good solid weekend. It felt really good to run up front and I think with a few more advances with the bike, we can win one of these races soon. Rocky Stargel, Jimmy Le, and the rest of the team worked really hard this weekend and gave me a great bike. The team has a little break to do some development on the bike, but I am ready to go to Barber tomorrow," said Davies.
