Checa takes another win
It took Carlos Checa (Althea Racing Ducati) some time to get on terms with the long time leader Sylvain Guintoli (Effenbert Liberty Racing Ducati) but he made a final pass that delivered him his 15th win of the year with only a couple of laps go.


Third went to Tissot-Superpole winner Jonathan Rea (Castrol Honda), while a remarkable comeback from 17th on the grid meant that Max Biaggi (Aprilia Alitalia) overhauled the ever-improving Joan Lascorz (Kawasaki Racing Team) to take fourth place after 22-laps of pure effort. Marco Melandri (Yamaha World Superbike Team) faded in the later stages to go sixth, while a brilliant ride from privateer Maxime Berger (Supersonic Ducati) put him seventh.
