Haga back on track at Valencia
| Sunday, 11 April 2010 16:48 |
Noriyuki Haga (Ducati Xerox) secured his first race win of 2010 after a tense fight with second place rider Carlos Checa (Althea Ducati) and Max Biaggi (Aprilia Alitalia).
A two part aggregate race was required after a crash on lap four of the first heat brought out the red flags. Simon Andrews and Vittorio Iannuzzo both had heavy falls at high speed on the start/finish straight, but two minor injuries to Andrews's left foot and ankle were the final result.
In the championship, Leon Haslam's fourth in the second of today's races gives him 123 points to Biaggi's 105 and Checa's 80. Haga is on 79 points. The final margin of victory in the two-part race was 0.025 seconds between Haga and Checa.
