Honda's Jonathan Rea got a great start at Monza.

Honda's Jonathan Rea got a great start at Monza.
Monza was a tough race for everyone. The first leg was cancelled due to weather, and the second leg a tough fight.
Rea finished sixth overall on his CBR1000RR.
Hiroshi Aoyama (Honda World Superbike Team) finished just outside the top ten after moving way up from his starting position of 20th.
Aoyama speed was impressive: 317 kilometers per hour!
In the Supersport class, Honda riders Jules Cluzel and Sam Lowes went 1-2 to dominate the podium.
Cluzel hails from France and races for the PTR Honda team.
Cluzel won the event by just 0.3 second ahead of fellow Honda rider Lowes.
Lowes (#11 bike) rides for the Bogdanka PTR Honda team, and finished just behind his French counterpart. Here he leads Cluzel—at the finish, the order was reversed.
Lowes led the race for 22 laps.
