Rea wins for Honda at Imola

Jonathan Rea (Castrol Honda) won his second race of the year with a front running display that needed to be strong in the final laps to hold off new lap record holder Noriyuki Haga (Pata Racing Aprilia).

Behind the leading two, by some nine seconds, Carlos Checa (Althea Racing Ducati) scored an important podium but had to wait until the final lap to get the better of the impressive Tom Sykes (Kawasaki Racing Team Superbike). The first four were all front row qualifiers.

Championship hopeful Marco Melandri (Yamaha World Superbike Team) was only eighth, after getting involved in several fights in the middle order of the first 21-lap race of the day.
