MOTORCYCLE ace Chaz Davies has been in the south of France this week reflecting on his ‘dream’ double race triumph.

He is sitting proudly in second spot in the World Superbike Championship standings – just 22 points behind leader Sylvain Guintoli.

The 26-year-old Kinsham rider led both races at the Aragon circuit from start to finish and he also rode the fastest lap.

Davies admitted he hadn’t expected a double success in only his second race with the BMW Motorrad GoldBet SBK Team.

“To get a double was something I had dreamed about – and I managed to pull it off,” said Davies, who was in unstoppable form in Sunday’s Spanish sunshine.

“It was a very special weekend and it was only my second race for BMW.”

It was the first time Davies had qualified to be on the front row in a World Superbike race.

He took the lead on lap five of the first race and, in the second, sped into the lead on the second. Davies won the World Supersport Championship title in 2011, which gained him a move to Superbikes.

He said: “Both triumphs are pretty special – one was after a season’s worth of work and another was after a weekend’s racing.

“It’s hard to compare the two – they are both very special and memorable moments.”

He added: “Things are pretty busy – I am training in France at the moment - and I am not sure when I will be next back home.”

The third round of the championship takes place in Assen, Netherlands, on April 28.

Davies’ mum, Sam, says the former Presteigne schoolboy will be keeping his feet on the ground.

He switched from the ParkinGo Aprilia team to Motorrad BMW at the end of last season.

“We’ve only had two rounds and there’s a lot of time to go,” said Sam. “Chaz has got a factory bike with BMW for the first time in his life.

“He’s taking this year with both hands and he’s loving his time with BMW.

“BMW are a great team - he’s only got a one-year deal with the team and he will be hoping to get an extension.

“Chaz won a race last year in Germany and his first podium finish was at Aragon – so he likes the track.

“Chaz will be the same as always - he’s not a showman and he doesn’t like any fuss.

“He says racing is his job and he says that’s’ what he does. He will be absolutely chuffed to have achieved a double and he will move on to the next race.”

Sam says she can’t bear to watch television footage of her son competing.

“I can’t watch it – I just watch the times in my office on my computer and I shout whenever anybody is getting close to Chaz,” she said.

“My husband, Peter, watches it on the television – and I shout to him to ask him what’s happening.”

Chaz won’t want any fuss when he eventually returns to Kinsham, she said.

“He will sleep in his own bed, have a roast dinner and whip around on his own bike,” said Sam.

“He will look forward to seeing his cat, Reg, who has not been very well recently. Chaz is very fond of Reg.”
