Vallelunga: Haga holds Biaggi for victory.

Sunday, 21st September 2008

Noriyuki Haga surges to fifth win of the season after intense tussle with Max Biaggi.

Yukio Kagayama started strongly but eventually faded to ninth, just ahead of countryman Shinichi Nakatomi who, like Rolfo, was on fine form as he fought up from 19th on the grid to claim a top ten finish.

Lorenzo Lanzi ran inside the top ten for the majority of the race before dropping to 11th, ahead of Fonsi Nieto, who struggled throughout, while Jakub Smz, Gregorio Lavilla and Ayrton Badovini completed the points paying positions.

Meanwhile, beyond Kiyonari, other notable retirements included Ruben Xaus, with an apparent mechanical woe, as well as Kenan Sofuoglu and Karl Muggeridge, the duo coming together in the early stages of the race.
