-----------------

The second race weekend brings World Superbike to Europe and starts the meaty part of the season. After a quick test for some teams, Aragon welcomes the entire grid. The track is relatively new track near Alcañiz in the Aragon region of Spain. The stand-out feature is the long back straight joined to the start/finish straight by a single sweeping corner. It's a circuit that suits bikes with top speeds as overtaking at the end of the long straight puts a faster bike over the line before a slower, more agile bike. If you're on an Aprilia, BMW or Tom Sykes's Kawasaki, you are in with a chance of a win. The long back straight was also the home of one of last year's more memorable and unusual overtakes, with Supersport contenders Kenan Sofuoglu and Fabien Foret meeting down the back straight with Sofuoglu trying to headbutt Foret as he passed him.
