Alvaro Bautista, Ducati V4R Panigale, completed his total domination of the World Superbike Championship with two rounds being completed. Yesterday he beat Johnny Rea by 8 Seconds. Today he won the Red Flagged Sprint Race over Rea and then won the Superbike race by over 10 seconds again over Rea. If you have a chance to see race 1 you need to see the big bump Johnny Rea delivered to Bautista. I still don't know how Bautista managed to stay upright and on the bike. That was a must see. Bottom line is Bautista has four World Superbike race wins and two Sprint race wins. Ducati has not won six races in a row since 2003 when Neil Hodgson won on the 999R. Davies crashed yesterday and remounted for 15 place and one point and today he finished 8th in the sprint race an had a mechanical in the World Superbike race. He leaves Thailand with 3 points while Bautista has a shad over 100.
The real battle was for fourth place and involved three Yamahas and one Kawasaki.
