Race 2 of the 2016 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship got underway at Magny-Cours on Sunday with almost perfect conditions setting the scene for a magnificent day of racing. Aruba.it Racing – Ducati’s Chaz Davies stole the show once again to take the double for a fifth time in his career. Kawasaki Racing Team’s Jonathan Rea and Tom Sykes put on an incredible show battling for the podium to finish in second and third. Superbike - Drivers' standings: 1 REA p.426, 2 SYKES p.378, 3 DAVIES p.345, 4 VAN DER MARK p.234, 5 HAYDEN p.202.
The clock is ticking on the 2016 WorldSBK season and with three rounds remaining, Jonathan Rea has one hand on the title. For centuries, people have travelled to France in search of a miracle. Typically it is to Lourdes that pilgrims flock but this weekend it will be to the Circuit de Nevers-Magny Cours. The links between the two are well known, with Saint Bernadette Soubirous - who first cited the apparitions of Lourdes - having died close to the circuit in Nevers. With Jonathan Rea having opened a 47 point title lead it may be that the flagging hopes of Tom Sykes' title campaign are in need of divine intervention this weekend.
