Barrier pushes on in Superstock

The Superstock 1000 race was eventually run at 11.15 and over only six laps after it had started and then been stopped after an oil spill at the third corner. Eddi La Marra took the holeshot on his Barni Racing Team Italia Ducati Panigale, but within half race distance he had been passed by Sylvain Barrier's BMW and then Michele Magnoni's GM Racing BMW. Lorenzo Baroni, Barrier's BMW Motorrad Italia Gold Bet team-mate was an eventual second after catching the leading pack on the final lap then passing two riders with ease. Magnoni was third. The top four were covered by 0.571 seconds. In the championship Barrier leads with 75 points, Lorenzo Savadori is second with 64.
