WSBK Monza Race 2 – The Spies Vendetta

Bitter and still hurting for what happened in Race 1, Ben Spies took the lead and kept it from start to finish leaving podium finishers Michel Fabrizio, who had to start race 2 with his second bike, and Ryuichi Kiyonari fighting for second place with Fabrizio finally taking second and Kiyonari third.

Fabrizio and Kiyonari battled it out almost the entire race and Kiyonari passed the Ducati Xerox rider on lap 7 with Jonathan Rea and Max Biaggi closing fast, but an error on lap 10 made Biaggi loose contact with the group leaving the British rider with fourth and the Aprilia rider fifth.

Tom Sykes was sixth and Leon Haslam, seventh after starting 17th on the grid.
The battle for 8th saw Jakub Smrz with his satellite Ducati get the best of Ruben Xaus, Carlos Checa, and Regis Laconi.
Troy Corser after his crash in Race 1 did not start Race 2.
Shinya Nakano and Broc Parkes came home in 12th and 13th, while Luca Scassa beat Matteo Baiocco at the finish line by just 0,003s.
Noriyuki Haga had an excellent start but according to team manager Davide Tardozzi, Haga was hit by a bird on his hand making him loose sensation in his hand that made him loose control of his Ducati and causing him to dramatically crash out during lap 3 at the famous Parabolica.

The race was also characterized by several ride through penalties and a black flag for Italian rider Vittorio Iannuzzo.
