Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that's a first time for WSBK.

Indeed it is. Fogarty won 4 but only in runs of 2 years at a time.( 1994, 1995, 1998 and 1999)
Rea is still behind Corser(52) and Fogarty(59) in terms of WSBK race wins. (Rea now has 50 wins.)

WSB race 2 and WSS at Jerez
But I'm all excited for the SSTK1000 race where wild card entry Markus Reiterberger snatched pole yesterday.

If you get a chance, watch the title deciding final WSS300 race. Position changes every single corner up to a point that DORNAs on screen displays couldnt keep up with it.
Seldom seen such a crazy race, with the first 4 sharing just 0.030 of a sec over the line
