CHAZ Davies kick started his World Superbike Championship campaign with a double podium in Spain last weekend.

The Presteigne ace ended second in race one aboard an Arbua.It Ducati before a superb second race saw Davies pip Kawasaki’s Jon Rea to pole.

This weekend Davies heads to Assen in Holland, a track which Davies has tasted success four times in the past, sitting second in the WSBK rankings after three rounds.

Davies said: “I feel really confident even though historically Assen hasn’t been our most favourable track.

“We’ve improved our set-up and pace there over the years and are getting closer and closer to the goal.

“I think it’s going to be another great battle and can’t wait to get started.”
