Round 3 of the WorldSBK 2015 Championship took place at the MotorLand Aragón circuit in northeastern Spain on 12 April. This event was contested by 24 riders over two heats on the 5.077km circuit.

Our man, Dario Dominin, was at the race and sent us back a wide selection of images, of which we have posted just a sample here.

During Race 1, the Kawasaki Racing Team were most certainly the victors as both of their riders were on the podium, with Rea in first and Sykes in third position, both on a Kawasaki ZX-10R. Davies spoilt the party by splitting the two Kawasakis and finished second on his Ducati Panigale R.

For Race 2 it was all-change, as this time it was the Ducati Panigale R of Chaz Davies that took the top honours with Rea in second (Kawasaki ZX-10R) and Haslam in third (Aprilia RSV4 RF).

This was a very valuable points haul for Rea, as his 140 points places him comfortably clear of second-placed man Haslam on 114 points, and Davies on 83 points.
