Spies was the only rider to claim two podium finishes with Haga suffering a heavy fall in race two and Max Biaggi - second in race one - falling from the runner-up spot on lap four of race two to come in last.

Biaggi, who momentarily took the lead from Spies into turn one, then clashed with Alessandro Polita in his haste to rejoin the race and eventually finished 21st.

Haga, third in race one, moved up to second after Biaggi's error but held the position for less than a lap before he crashed heavily through the fast Coppice turn, his bike hitting him repeatedly as he tumbled to a halt.

The Japanese was eventually able to walk away with the support of marshals, but his title lead over Spies is now all but gone.

The American Yamaha star then rode into the distance to claim his second victory of the day and 10th of the year by 6.622 seconds after backing off in the closing stages.

Behind Spies, Leon Haslam emerged triumphant from a three-way fight for second, while Haga's Ducati Xerox team-mate Michel Fabrizio returned to the podium in third after a lowly 12th in race one.

Shane Byrne improved one place on his race one result to come fourth, while Tom Sykes finished fifth.
