Race two was another high-attrition battle with riders crashing out throughout the race. Marco Melandri, who missed the post-race press conference after race one due to a bee of all things, took the victory ahead of Tom Sykes, with Melandri having taken the lead from Sykes ten laps from the end. Behind them, however, a tightly fought battle between Max Biaggi, Leon Haslam, Jonathan Rea, Eugene Laverty, Carlos Checa and Chaz Davies.
