Seri pamungkas Worldsuperbike Championship (WSBK) 2015 akhirnya selesai digelar di sirkuit Doha, Qatar (18/10). Seri kali ini menyuguhkan balap malam yang menampilkan persaingan ketat antar pembalap. Race 1 yang dibuka dengan Jonathan Rea start dari grid terdepan, namun setelah bendera finish berkibar. Justru pembalap Red Devils Roma, Jordi Torres yang berhasil melewati garis finish pertama. Sementara Rea dan rekan setimnya Tom Sykes harus puas berbagi tempat di podium kedua dan ketiga.
Memasuki Race 2 balapan lebih dramatis lagi. Torres dan Rea urung menyelesaikan perlombaaan karena kendala teknis motornya masing-masing. Perebutan podium tertinggi pun melibatkan Leon Haslam, Sykes dan Chaz Davies. Hingga akhirnya mereka naik podium dengan Leon Haslam yang berhasil mengisi podium pertama.
Kendati Rea tak finish di Race 2, pembalap yang tahun lalu menutup musim hanya dengan peringkat ketiga kini dinobatkan sebagai juara dunia WSBK 2015 dengan total perolehan 548 points. (otorider.com)
