World Superbike championships in Aragon won by Chaz Davies

Welsh motorcyclist Chaz Davies is now second in the world championship after winning both races in the World Superbike championships in Aragon, his first wins since joining the BMW Motorrad team this season

The next round of the Superbikes World Championship takes place in Assen, Netherlands, on Sunday, April 28.

The championship takes in 15 rounds of races, reaching a climax at the Buddah circuit in India on 17 November.
