[visordown.com] - WSB 2015 Sepang race one results






JONATHAN Rea wins race one at Sepang as team-mate Tom Sykes loses pace to finish fifth despite leading until the closing stages.

The opening race of the Malaysian round at Sepang saw Championship leader Jonathan Rea take the win despite Kawasaki team-mate Tom Sykes leading for the majority of the race.

Sykes had a 2.6s lead after just five laps with Chaz Davies and Jonathan Rea in the chasing pack. Sykes was consistently riding in the 2:04s bracket, and was the only one to do so.

The Yorkshireman continued to pull away from the chasing pack leaving Aprilia’s Leon Haslam and Max Biaggi to battle it out for fifth.

With only four laps to go, Davies and Rea’s tyres appeared to be in better shape than Sykes’ as the gap began to reduce and suddenly Davies and Rea were passed the former Champion.

Rea took his 12th win of the year whilst Davies crossed the line in second despite swapping places three times on the final lap, twice of which were at the final corner.

Biaggi claimed his 71st podium as he took the final step of the podium. The Italian has now extended his own record of being the oldest rider to ever stand on the World Superbike podium.

Sylvain Guintoli brought home his Pata Honda in fourth – his best finish of the season so far -, whilst poleman Sykes finished in fifth.

Voltom Crescent Suzuki’s Alex Lowes finished 6th ahead of Leon Haslam. The Althea Racing pair, Matteo Baiocco and Niccolo Canepa finished in 8th and ninth with Jordi Torres rounding out the top ten.
