The 2020 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship heads to the MotorLand Aragon venue for the fourth round of the year. Featuring on the calendar since 2011 and having seen numerous final lap battles and shock results, the track will welcome yet more rivalries this year. Get ready for the Prosecco DOC Aragon Round with ten headlining stats ahead of the weekend’s commencement.

1. Rea took back the Championship lead after Race 2 at Portimao. He is the fourth different leader this year and for the 119th time he leads the standings.

2. At Portimao, Jonathan Rea set a new benchmark as he is the first rider with 20 podiums on any given track. His best opponent is Troy Corser with 16 in Misano.

3. Jonathan Rea and Scott Redding are separated by 4 points after the 9th race: it’s the closest gap since 2012, when at the 9th race (Donington Race 1), Max Biaggi was leading with just one point over Tom Sykes. At the same point last year, Bautista was leading with 39 points over Rea. This excludes the final points gap at the end of the season, which was 0.5 points from 2012.

4. Kawasaki has always been on the podium in the last 14 races run at Aragon.

5. Jonathan Rea climbed on the podium in all his eleven races run for Kawasaki at Aragon.

6. Chaz Davies enters the Aragon weekend with seven wins at this track. An eighth win would put Davies in a very close elite of riders who have won eight or more times on a given track: Jonathan Rea, with 12 wins at Assen and Portimao; Carl Fogarty with 12 at Assen; Tom Sykes with nine wins at Donington Park; Rea with nine at Imola and eight at Misano.

7. Only Chaz Davies has been able to win starting outside the top five at Aragon, and made it twice: Race 2 in 2017 from 10th on the grid, and in 2018 in Race 2 from 8th.

8. Tom Sykes is the record holder for Superpoles here: four. Marco Melandri follows at 2; Haslam, Davies and Bautista at 1 each.

9. Aragon is the third track in the Championship history to host two race weekends in a season. It comes after Donington (1994: May the 2nd, October the 2nd) and Brands Hatch (6th of August, 15th of October).

10. All the seven wins by Davies here came without the advantage of a pole position start.
