Jonathan Rea wrapped up his second consecutive World Superbike Championship with a runner-up finish in Race 1 at Losail Circuit in Qatar this past weekend. Rea is one of only four racers to win back-to-back titles, joining racing legends Carl Fogarty, Doug Polen and Fred Merkel in this historic feat. His teammate Tom Sykes ends the season in second place in the standings followed by the hottest rider in the series, Chaz Davies.
Lost in the hoopla surrounding Rea's championship is the fact that Ducati Aruba’s Chaz Davies won his sixth consecutive WSBK race, that’s three double wins to close out the 2016 season.
