SBK | Geico US Round, Race 2: Jonathan Rea sees double

An unstoppable Jonathan Rea was seen today in the second race of the Geico US Round, at Laguna Seca: the reigning champion needed only eight laps to recover from the third row and take the lead of the group.

Rea then leaves California on the strength of a crazy double that projects him towards his fourth consecutive world title.
To give an idea of ​​his dominance, it is enough to say that he took six seconds less to finish today's race than yesterday's, and that Tom Sykes, who theoretically also has the same bike, finished eighth at 25 seconds .

Chaz Davies once again gets on the podium, doing his best to keep Ducati high by repeating yesterday's second place, and Eugene Laverty takes his first podium with Aprilia.
Great joy for the Irishman who leaves behind the injury at the start of the season and a year and a half of effort with the RSV4.
Alex Lowes and van der Mark crossed the finish line in fourth and fifth place respectively: another solid result for Yamaha after Alisea's third place yesterday.

Sixth Xavi Fores, and first of the independent riders, ahead of Jordi Torres and Tom Sykes: definitely a negative weekend for the Englishman.

Another top 10 for Jake Gange, who crossed the finish line in ninth position with the Honda Red Bull, ahead of Loris Baz on BMW.

Of note are Lorenzo Savadori's fall at the Corkscrew and that of Marco Melandri, who slipped in the sand on the edge of the track shortly after almost being hit by the frenzied Rea.
