Bengaluru, August 21: The EuroSpeedway Lausitz (Germany) was home to a memorable weekend for the Aruba.it Racing - Ducati team, who took a sensational double - the second of the season after Imola - with Chaz Davies.

After winning Race 1 on Saturday, the Welshman repeated the feat starting from ninth position.

Quickly recovering ground thanks to a strong start, Davies pulled away together with his team-mate Marco Melandri and Rea, and took the lead during lap 11. He then made one decisive charge with 5 laps to go, as a light rain started to fall, to take his sixth win of the year.

Melandri also enjoyed a positive Sunday, bouncing back from a difficult Race 1 with a solid third place (his eighth podium of the year) that leaves him hopeful ahead of the next rounds. The Italian, who started from pole position, led the race for the first five laps, fighting for the victory for most of the race and showing significant improvements in terms of overall pace.

After nine rounds, Davies (276 points) and Melandri (218 points) are respectively third and fourth in the championship.

The Aruba.it Racing - Ducati team will be back in action at Portimão (Portugal) for the tenth round of the season, scheduled for September 15-17.
