Max Biaggi (Aprilia Alitalia) found the speed he was missing in race one to record his ninth win of the season, and his tenth in career at Brno, giving him a 50% win ratio so far this season. Jonathan Rea (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) was a clear second, 4.6 seconds from Max, with Michel Fabrizio (Ducati Xerox) third.

Biaggi turned the tables on Rea in race two, but not until the 23-year-old had led for the opening six laps. Rea ha d made no changes to his Honda CBR1000RR between races, other than replacing the dash unit and putting in a new set of tyres.

After his second place in race 1, Max Biaggi takes back the keys to the Brno circuit with an unrepeatable show. The good start was just a prelude to a monologue: from the sixth lap on, after overtaking Rea, Max Biaggi set an infernal pace which the followers just couldn't match.  The 4.6 second final gap tell the whole story of Max's devastating supremacy.

The Corsair's consistency was also impressive, with points earned in all eighteen rounds with nine victories including the one today.

A good performance for team mate Leon Camier as well, finally comfortable on the Czech track after a weekend of searching for the right feeling. He finished in eighth place and is now eagerly awaiting the race on his home turf in Silverstone.

The fifth victory in the last six races for Max Biaggi takes him to 352 points, 68 in front of Haslam, while Aprilia solidifies its lead in the manufacturer rankings with 53 points over Suzuki and 82 over Ducati.

Neukirchner’s races ended on the opening lap of both races – at turn one in the first outing and turn six in race two, both incidents involving other riders. The 27-year-old was understandably disappointed at not being able to convert a promising qualifying position and improved performance into more satisfactory results.

mixed fortunes for Michel Fabrizio and the Ducati Xerox Team on the Czech circuit of Brno today; a technical problem forced the Italian to retire in race 1 but he fought back to take a well deserved podium in race 2, after battling against Ruben Xaus (BMW). Noriyuki Haga on the other hand, starting from fifteenth on the grid, rode two strong races and made up many positions to close sixth and fifth

BMW Motorrad Motorsport after an eventful FIM Superbike World Championship race weekend in Brno (CZE): After securing his best qualifying result with the young team on Saturday, Ruben Xaus (ESP) scored his best race result with the propeller on his chest on Sunday. The Catalan rider finished the first race fifth, and was in third in the second race when he crashed in the first corner on lap 15. Ruben’s team mate, Troy Corser (AUS), did not start in Brno due to his heavy crash in Friday’s Qualifying Practice session.

Race 1

Jonathan Rea (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) speared the first big fish at Brno, taking a great race win by 2.5 seconds from Max Biaggi's Aprilia Alitalia machine. Rea had been third on the grid, Biaggi second and pole man Cal Crutchlow (Yamaha Sterilgarda) rode hard and well to take third place.

Jonathan Rea scorched his way to a stunning race one victory at Brno in the Czech Republic today in round nine of the 2010 World Superbike championship. In temperatures of more than 30°C, the Northern Irishman followed up his third victory of the season with an impressive second place in race two.

His Hannspree Ten Kate Honda team-mate, Max Neukirchner, was disappointed to crash out of both 20-lap races around the 5.403km Brno circuit. Fortunately, the 27-year-old German rider sustained only a slight injury to the inside of his right elbow and some bruising.

Starting race one from the front row of the grid, Rea rode around the outside of race two winner, Max Biaggi, at turn 11 on the opening lap and was never headed, eventually finishing the race 2.5s ahead of Biaggi and Britain’s Cal Crutchlow, who was third.

Biaggi turned the tables on Rea in race two, but not until the 23-year-old had led for the opening six laps. Rea ha d made no changes to his Honda CBR1000RR between races, other than replacing the dash unit and putting in a new set of tyres.

Jonathan Rea – 1st and 2nd

In race one I honestly felt that someone up there was watching out for me because it was like I couldn’t do anything wrong! But it felt great to win and dedicate it to my team manager, Ronald ten Kate, who couldn’t be here this weekend because his father is very ill. It was a weird start to that race, because as I sat on the grid the only thing I could think about was how badly I needed to go to the toilet! As soon as the r ace started I went to the front instead and just kept it smooth for the remaining 19 laps. It felt so nice to win a race again – I’d kind of forgotten what that felt like. Race two wasn’t so bad and fair play to Max (Biaggi), who rode really well. I tried to fight but I had nothing left in the tyre, which just didn’t feel the same as the one I had in race one. However, we worked much better as a team this weekend and made really good changes during the practice and qualifying sessions. Our bike is difficult to take from track to track, but we definitely got the best out of it this weekend. Now I’m off to Japan for the Suzuka 8 Hour, but I’m looking forward to getting back in front of my home fans in three weeks at Silverstone.
