The Aruba.it Racing – Ducati team took the top step of the podium in Race 1 at EuroSpeedway Lausitz (Germany) with Chaz Davies. The Welshman, who earlier in the morning claimed his second pole position of 2016, secured the lead after a strong start and then imposed an unequaled pace to win the race with a ten-second advantage over his closest opponent.
Davies thus collected his fifth win of the year after the doubles achieved in Aragon (Spain) and Imola (Italy), while also posting the fastest lap with a 1’37.357.
After taking part in Superpole 1, which he closed with the fastest time, Davide Giugliano secured third row on the grid in eighth position.
The Italian rider climbed back up to fourth place at the start and fought tenaciously in the second group despite some braking issues, especially in the early phases of the race with a full fuel tank, to finish in seventh position.
The strong pace shown in the second half of the race leaves Giugliano hopeful ahead of tomorrow.
Both riders will be back on track tomorrow at 09:25 for a fifteen-minute warm-up session ahead of Race 2, scheduled for 13:00 (CET).
