World Superbikes: Jonathan Rea earns fifth straight title after Magny-Cours win - BBC Sport

over 4 years ago

Jonathan Rea secured a fifth straight World Superbike title with two rounds to spare after taking victory in Race Two at Magny-Cours.

The Northern Irishman, 32, becomes the first rider to win five World Superbikes titles.

His nearest rival Alvaro Bautista exited early in Race Two after being taken out by Toprak Razgatlioglu.

Turkey's Razgatlioglu beat Rea in Sunday morning's Sprint Race which was same one-two as Saturday's Race One.

That meant victory for the Kawasaki rider in Race Two was guaranteed to land him the title if Spaniard Bautista finished outside the top 11.
