A thrilling last-corner victory for Chaz Davies in race two at Sepang prevented Jonathan Rea from wrapping-up the 2015 World S🐼uperbike title.

Rea gobbled up a near two-second advantage on the last lap to slipstream past Davies 🍒o꧂n the long run to the final hairpin.

Davies 🌠then dived for the inside under braking, the pair making contact before powering to the finish line, where the Ducati rider claimed victory by 0.091s!

A twelfth win of the season in race one had given Rea the first of seven chances to wrap-up the 2015 world championship: To do so the Ulsterman needed to ou𓂃tscore both Kawasaki team-mate Tom Sykes (by 11 points) and Davies (by 1 ꩵpoint) in race two.

While Sykes was eliminated 🎃from contention by a turn one tangle with Max Biaggi, Davies - narrowly denied victory by Rea earlier in the day - was soon dominating up front.

By the time Sykes suffered another incident, a lowside fall at turn nine with eleven laps remaining, the Welshman's Ducati was enjoying a 'safe' lea𓆏d over Rea.

Tyre wear had played a pivotal role in the race one outcome, but Davies looked to be out of Rea's♛ reach... until Rea's last lap charge created what Davies would describe🍨 as a "fun" final showdown.

Jordi Torres completed the podium for Aprilia ahead of Pata Honda's outgoing champion Sylvain Guintoli. Their respective team-mates Michael van der Mark and Leon Haslam c൩ompleted the top six.

Rea now leads new closest rival Davies - winner of three of the last four races - by 144 points, w💃ith a maximu🔴m of 150 points remaining heading into Jerez on September 20th.

Sykes, who eventually finished the race in 14th, is now 157 points adrift and therefore out of mathematical title cont൲ention.
