Rea 13th at Aragon as Bautista earns Sunday double

Rea was making his return from injury

Jonathan Rea finished 13th in the final race of the World Superbikes weekend at Aragon.

Northern Ireland's six-time world champion, who sat out the previous round's action at Cremona after suffering a hand injury at Magny-Cours, finished 12th in Sunday's earlier Superpole race which was won by Alvaro Bautista.

Spaniard Bautista went on to complete the Sunday double on home soil, with the day's second race finishing with the same podium as the first.

That meant championship leader Toprak Razgatlioglu ended the weekend with a trio of runners-up finishes, having also come in second to Andrea Iannone on Saturday.

Prior to this weekend, Turkish rider Razgatlioglu had missed the last six races as he recovered from injury.

A consistently high performance in Spain extended his lead at the top of the championship to 39 points over Ducati rider Nicolo Bulega, who finished third in both of Sunday's races.

Rea is 14th overall on 91 points.

The penultimate weekend of the championship takes place in Estoril in two weeks' time.
