Chaz Davies' leathers ... now featuring Ben Bostrom's rubber

CHAZ DAVIES had a hard-fought battle with Ben Bostrom during the AMA Daytona Sportsbike race at the Laguna Seca MotoGP round.

Bostrom won the race on his Graves Yamaha YZF-R6 and Chaz Davies bagged second place on an Aprilia RSV1000R, a top result we might add.

The race was frantic throughout with several riders trading paint, blows and hand gestures. But Davies got off lightly when he clashed with Bostrom. Check out the image above, where you can see Bostrom's front tyre rubber on Davies' leathers. How's that for close racing?
