Sylvain Guintoli (Pata Racing Ducati) was declared the winner of an eight lap second Superbike race after the rains fell so hard that three riders fell on the same part of the track, and the red flag was shown. Half points were awarded to the top 15 riders. Loris Baz (Kawasaki Racing Team) had been in the lead on the lap that the flag was shown but he had fallen shortly before, so on the count back he was credited with second.
Third went to long time second place rider Jakub Smrz (Liberty Racing Team Effenbert) with Aprilia Racing rider Eugene Laverty, who was 16 seconds behind rain master Guintoli when the flag went out, fourth. Maxime Berger (Team Effenbert Liberty Racing Ducati) was fifth, Chaz Davies (ParkinGO MTC Aprilia) was eventually classified seventh, one place behind late crasher Carlos Checa (Althea Racing Ducati). Marco Melandri (BMW Motorrad Motorsport) was eighth. With Max Biaggi (Aprilia Racing) 11th, the championship table leaving has Biaggi on 274 points, Melandri on 263.5 and Tom Sykes (Kawasaki Racing Team) on 222.5, two points ahead of Checa.
