Carlos wins race one at Miller

Carlos Checa (Althea Racing Ducati) won the first race of the day at Miller, in what was a clean sweep for Ducati in the opening 21-lap contest on a dry track. Effenbert - Liberty Racing Ducati pairing Jakub Smrz and Sylvain Guintoli filled the remaining podium places, in second and third respectively, with Leon Camier (Aprilia Alitalia) recovering from a mid-race hiccup to take fourth place away from Eugene Laverty and his Yamaha World Superbike machine.

Tom Sykes made a great final push to take sixth on his Kawasaki Racing Team Superbike machine. Satellite rider Ayrton Badovini (BMW Motorrad Italia Superbike) held off the challenge from official BMW rider Leon Haslam to finish seventh. Max Biaggi (Aprilia Alitalia) and Jonathan Rea (Castrol Honda) clashed on the opening lap, both riders ending up in the mud and on the DNF sheet.
