Jonathan Rea snatches victory as Chaz Davies crashes out in Aragon

Defending champion Jonathan Rea took advantage of Chaz Davies' late crash to make it five wins from as many races in the Superbike World Championship.

Davies (Ducati) set a new qualifying record to claim Superpole at the MotorLand Aragon circuit and was on course to end Rea's winning run after holding off the Kawasaki rider for much of race one.

But the Welshman crashed out on the penultimate lap.
