Althea Ducati's Carlos Checa has taken another easy win at the Miller Motorsport Park World Superbike round, making his total two for the day while Leon Camier bagged his second podium of the year ahead of team-mate Max Biaggi.
Spaniard Checa got the holeshot and never looked back but it took Camier, who stormed through from the middle of the grid, a couple of corners to take second away from Marco Melandri who was also swallowed up by his team-mate Eugene Laverty while Biaggi sat in sixth behind Noriyuki Haga.
It took Biaggi a lap to pass Haga and Melandri but then had some trouble with the young Irishman. Haga, Troy Corser and Ruben Xaus all crashed in separate incidents on lap four while Biaggi found a way past Laverty's Yamha with 16 still to go.
The Italian set off after Camier but used his tyres up in the pursuit and couldn't catch the 2009 British Superbike Champion who looks to have exorcised the technical demons that have held him up in testing and competition this year.
Laverty ended the race in a lonely fourth with Alstare Suzuki's Michel Fabrizio fifth, Melandri in sixth and Sylvain Guintoli, who was third in race one, taking seventh place. His team-mate Jakub Smrz, second in the opening race, was eighth while Ayrton Badovini, Tom Sykes and Jonathan Rea had a scrap for ninth, which the Italian won.
PBM Kawasaki's Joan Lascorz got the better of Leon Haslam late on for 12th while James Toseland did not start the second encounter.
