Lewis 1st EJC race winner
World Superbike Junior Cup
The opening round of the Pata European Junior Cup, powered by Honda was, as expected, a close and exciting race. With a leading group of eleven riders locked together throughout, nobody could predict the final outcome.
The race was eventually won by Kiwi Jake Lewis (Jake Lewis Racing), who stole the victory by 0.003s from Spanish wildcard rider Albert Arenas, who had taken pole position yesterday. The final podium position went to Italian rider Michael Canducci (Colors Experience).
Sabrina Paiuta (LS2 Helmets Racing Team) from Brazil was once again the fastest of the female competitors, at one point making the fastest lap of the race, before eventually finishing in 13th position. The next round of the series will take place at Assen, The Netherlands, in two weeks time.
Comment from Jake Lewis : Amazing result to finish P1 at Aragon for the European Junior Cup, it was a super hetic race. Elbows and fairings rubbing, it was awesome, really close to the line, only won it by 0.003 of a second. Well done to the other Kiwi riders Connor London, Sam Croft and Blayes Heaven for their first race in Europe. Great stuff.
