Wet race goes to Russo from van der Mark

A red flag after two laps of the first running of the Superstock 600 race made for a five-lap restart.


Michael van Der Mark (EAB Ten Kate Junior Team Honda) led for a while but eventually a four-rider fight developed. Gauthier Duwelz (MTM Yamaha) fell and the win was taken by Riccardo Russo (Team Italia FIM Yamaha). Second in a dramatic final corner lunge was van Der Mark, third was wild card Lee Jackson (Chris Walker Race School Kawasaki).


In the championship table, Russo leads van Der Mark 147 points to 144, with Duwelz on 78.
