After barely missing the podium with a resilient comeback in Race 1 with Chaz Davies, the Aruba.it Racing – Ducati team stepped back on the rostrum in Misano (Italy) in front of its supporters with Davide Giugliano, who was third on the finish line to redeem yesterday’s 14th place. Davies faced an unfortunate race, crashing out during lap 2 when he looked bound for another thrilling comeback after the one mounted on Saturday.

Starting from third row, both Giugliano and Davies immediately started to climb back through the field. The Italian quickly stormed within the top 5, with Davies just a couple of positions behind him. The Welshman unfortunately crashed out in turn 14, the same that witnessed his teammate’s slip yesterday, during lap 2 and was forced to retire. Giugliano then took third place to begin the hunt for Rea and Sykes, getting closer to the leading couple until the final laps, when the tyres’ drop cemented the positions until the checkered flag.

After eight round, Davies (244 points) and Giugliano (165 points) are respectively in third and fourth position in the championship, while Ducati is second in the Manufacturers rankings with 297 points). The Aruba.it Racing – Ducati team will be back in action in Laguna Seca (U.S.) the weekend of July 8-10.
