WORLD SUPERBIKE WORLD SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 10/SEPTEMBER 7, 2014 JEREZ CIRCUIT/JEREZ, SPAIN P54 near full lean. Chaz Davies showed just how much progress the formerly trou- blesome but increasingly consis- tent and potent Ducati Panigale works bike has become. Third in race one, only 4. 2 seconds from the win, and fourth in a hotter race two, by only 7.7 seconds, were two more than positive results. "It was a better result than I thought I could get coming in here," said Davies. "I feel our limitation is just grip. When that goes the turning goes and the bike gets harder to ride. It is more physical. We had the pace to win at Laguna and we have picked things up here again. I think last year I was 25 seconds off the win here and I was less than five off in the first race and just seven in race two. That is good progress." Giugliano (34) was fast but erratic. He crashed in race one and suffered a mechanical in race two. Chaz Davies (7) had a good day on the Panigale, finishing third and fourth.
