Carlos takes a thriller
Carlos Checa (Althea Racing Ducati) put in a cool-headed win despite great pressure from eventual fifth place man Leon Haslam (Suzuki Alstare) in the final few laps.
Haslam ran on trying to pass Checa into the first Rivazza corner of the final lap, and dropped back as a result, allowing Lorenzo Lanzi (DFX Corse Ducati) to finish second and Noriyuki Haga (Ducati Xerox) to go third.
Jakub Smrz (Pata B&G Aprilia) was fourth and long-time race leader from pole position, Tom Sykes (Kawasaki Racing Team), was sixth, ten seconds down on the winner.
