The first three legs saw the lackluster performance from the three reigning titlists of two-wheel racing – Superbikes champ Raniel Resuello, Scooters champ Miko Erich Montano – and face tough pressures of dominating the last three races to stay on course for a back-to-back title bid.
Watanabe and his Aprilia continues to dominate the Superbikes scene with three consecutive triumphs and another win will take him a step closer to the coveted Overall Superbikes plum.
