Spies powered into the lead shortly after the start to head towards his eleventh win of the season. It wasn't easy however as the Texan had to keep Biaggi at bay, as the Italian took second at the end. Third went to Fabrizio, who lost contact with the leading pair in the last few laps. Despite his win, Spies was unable to overtake Haga at the top of the table. The Japanese rider ran a superb second race to finish in sixth place, holding off a trio of Tom Sykes (Yamaha), Shane Byrne (Ducati) and Jakub Smrz (Ducati) in the final stages. Just off the podium were the Ten Kate pairing of Jonathan Rea and Carlos Checa, their positions inverted from race 1. Once again Corser was up at the front in the early stages, but this time the Australian finished in tenth.
