Crutchlow started well from his pole position on the grid, momentarily taking first going into the second lap before dropping to second again behind Kawasaki rider, Joan Lascorz, with a comfortable pace below his proven race pace. Rival Laverty came past on the second lap before going wide a lap later allowing Crutchlow back through. Laverty then came back through, but low-sided on lap 12, rejoining in 15th position.
Crutchlow then began to close in on Lascorz, and was gaining ground for a pass when the race was red flagged with another rider dropping oil, giving the win to Lascorz. Crutchlow goes to Portimao for the final race on 230 points, leading rival Laverty by 19. Cal Crutchlow.
Cal Crutchlow, Yamaha World Supersport Team (2nd) "It was a good enough race in the end, I felt like I could have won it, and it was about time we had some more luck. Eugene crashed but he was no real problem during the race, the pace was really slow and I knew I could go to low 1'41s towards the end of the race if I needed to. We did what we needed to do, and we got a good second place which was nice. The team has worked really hard, so we're all looking to keep it going for the next one at Portimao."
