Triumph ParkinGO rider Chaz Davies is currently settling down in his first full World Supersport championship season and so far, out of nine races this year, the Welshman has stepped onto the podium three times. After two thirds at Valencia and Kyalami, Chaz made it three podiums at Brno, after fighting for the win for almost two-thirds of the race with Sofuoglu and Lascorz. This result takes him into an overall fourth place in the standings, not bad at all for a rider at his first experience in the Supersport category.
"It was an exciting race," said Davies. "I made a very good start and thought I could battle for the victory, but later on I felt the foot slipping, and realized it was an oil spill. I was expecting to high side any moment, but after a couple of laps I figured out it was only a wire drawing and felt comfortable again, although it was hard to push on the slippery footpeg in the right-hand corners. Rea gave me a hard time, but I managed to pass him."
Davies' recent run of form gives the former AMA rider high hopes for the next round in the UK. "This a very important result for me as it comes before my home race at Silverstone, where hopefully many of my fans will turn up".
