433_r08_davies_podium.jpgChaz Davies, who had come close to a breakthrough in the two previous rounds at Miller and Misano, finally fulfilled his aim by taking his ParkinGO MTC Racing Aprilia RSV4 to the podium slot at the MotorLand Aragon circuit in Alcaniz over the weekend: it was the Welshman's first podium finish in the eni FIM Superbike World Championship in his rookie season.Fourth in race 1 right behind Carlos Checa, in the afternoon the reigning Supersport champion showed his worth not only by taking the chequered flag in third place, but by even battling hard for the win. After starting from row 2 with an eighth place in the Tissot-Superpole, Davies then scrapped hard with Marco Melandri (winner of race 2) and with fellow Aprilia men Eugene Laverty and Max Biaggi.A third place was just reward for the former Daytona 200 Mile winner in this first half of the season, as well as for the excellent work done by the ParkinGO MTC Racing team headed by Giuliano Rovelli."I watched SBK since I was a kid and I have followed it as if it was my religion. Imagine how I feel now", declared Davies after the podium. "The Aprilias are very strong here but they don't get developed on their own. That's why I have to say that I am very happy for the results, prizing the work of the team. They have provided me a great bike and our job has been finally recognized. Now I have a good feeling with the bike, even with the aerodynamics that are not a question of being small or big. I'm a bit taller but my position on the seat allowed me to ride with no aerodynamic holes and this is important.""As for the race attitude, I have not many problems. Specially on race 2, when I was recovering I was only thinking to improve tenth by tenth. When I found myself there I tried to do my best. I even had the time to get mad at myself for a couple of mistakes done. When I reached the top three, I decided to fight without overreacting. I have to say that I respect Max Biaggi and all what he has done. I have chosen to fight with him but I always wanted to be clean, showing him the wheel and overtaking with no risks because his position on the world championship. Last year I was on his position and it was different for me, that's why I know a mistake could be very annoying. As for the future I have no special goals. I'll fight weekend by weekend with the confidence that I can always do better."With these results in Spain, where he also won last year in Supersport, Chaz Davies is now in tenth place in the standings, and in a battle for the unofficial ‘Rookie of the Year' award with Davide Giugliano, ninth just 16 points ahead of him.

323_r08_25years_xaus_pedercini.jpgTwo World Superbike ‘veterans' were the latest riders to be inducted into the SBK 25 Years Hall of Fame at the MotorLand Aragon circuit in Spain over the weekend: Ruben Xaus and Lucio Pedercini.For the Catalan rider the medal is also a recognition of his contribution made in promoting the world championship in Spain, with 13 years of activity in Superbike and Supersport from 1997 to 2011, only missing out in 2004-2005. Born in Barcelona in 1978, Xaus first wildcarded in SBK at the Nurburgring in 1998 after making a name for himself with 2 wins, 4 poles and 7 podiums in Supersport. In 2001 he was promoted full-time to Superbike with the factory Ducati Infostrada team alongside the legendary Troy Bayliss, and he immediately picked up two wins at Oschersleben and Imola, finishing the season sixth overall.Appreciated for his gangly riding style and all-out attack strategy, Ruben in Superbike was championship runner-up in 2003 with the brand-new Ducati 999 F03 factory bike. In recent years he raced for Sterilgarda GMB (2 wins in 2007 and 2008 on a Ducati with the icing on the cake coming at his home race at Valencia in 2007), BMW Motorrad Motorsport (2009-2010) and Castrol Honda last year. After retiring from racing activity, Ruben Xaus still continues in the sector as test-rider and sporting director of Bimota Research Development Department, involved in the development of new projects, including a possible future Superbike.Lucio Pedercini instead has been an integral part of the SBK Paddock since 1998. With 176 races to his name, not only is he the fourth Italian rider with most appearances (behind Chili, Bontempi and Pirovano), but also one of the most present figures in Superbike's 25 year history. Rider and manager for the team, which has always been entered as Team Pedercini, in SBK he scored a total of 350 points, always racing a Ducati, and was crowned Italian Superbike Champion in 2001 and 2002.

059_r08_staring_podium.jpgThree-time Australian Champion Bryan Staring scored a terrific victory in the fifth round of the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup at Motorland Aragon last weekend. The 25-year-old dominated the race from the first lap to the last, also scoring the fastest lap of the race in 2 minutes 01.466 seconds, to take his first-ever win in the category. It was also the first win the for the Kawasaki Pedercini team in a race and a return to the top podium slot for Kawasaki for the first time in 12 years.Bryan Staring declared, "I'm so happy for my team. They have supported me for two years and I'm happy to be able to repay them. I literally left Australia with a backpack and a passport and went off to try and crack Europe. I showed up in the pits in Magny Cours, France, in 2010 and knocked on the Pedercini garage door looking for a ride. They gave me a test on the Monday and two years later here we are with a victory. I just don't know what to say apart from never give up on your dreams!"Now that he's broken the ice, Staring can hope for a positive second half of the season with a series of tracks he reckons are congenial to him. "Moving forward I am feeling very confident heading to Brno and Silverstone. With all the hard work we have done I now have a very good feeling with the bike. I finally feel like I can ride to my full potential, like I did in Australian Superbike in 2010. I hope we can continue this success for the remainder of the season."
