A perfect one for Carlos Checa with his second win. Round weekend for the Catalan rider who has had no rival on the track despite riding one of the slowest bikes on the straight. If in the first race he laid the first stone, now he is already with the foundations. As he said on his twitter:

Max biaggi Nor has he been short since he has obtained another second place. Last season we already saw that apart from his victories, what helped him to be world champion was the consistency he presented that made any effort by his rivals to subtract points to nothing. Glued to the corsair has arrived Marco Melandri who thus achieves his first podium in SBK.

On this occasion, Checa did not let too many riders interfere at the start and only Leon Haslam faced him. That duel would not last long either, since from the third lap Althea Ducati led the race until the end of it. Joan Lascorz made a very good start but lost strength until he left the race. Leon was also staying behind until he fell into a nice fight between Troy corser, Max Biaggi, Eugene laverty and Marco Melandri. The Australian and the North-Irish, unfortunately for the BMW and Yamaha teams, couldn't help doing a bit of enduro on both straights.

The distances between the groups became greater and with Carlos with a comfortable two seconds on the pursuers, attention was focused on the spectacle that Melandri and Biaggi were about to give for second place. During the whole half of the race Marco stuck to the tail of the RSV4 which he passed during braking while on the straight the Italian machine gave free rein to the cavalry of its engine proving intractable. Point that served to win the second place in the drawer.

From behind they improved Jonhy Rea who climbed to fourth place indicating your bib. Rubén Xaus seems to have had better luck with the sensations of his CBR and entered the top 10 although as you can see he was quite upset. Noriyuki Haga did not do badly at all despite riding a satellite Aprilia and is aiming to get on the podium in the odd race.
