Race One
Noriyuki Haga on the Yamaha Italia machine took an amazing win at Magny-Cours while Championship leader James Toseland was running across the gravel.
The action kicked off in turn one when Xerox Ducati’s Lorenzo Lanzi crashed mid pack, causing other riders to scatter round him.
Toseland had to take avoiding action and ran across the gravel rejoining the race dead last.
Joining Haga on the podium was Troy Bayliss on the second of the Xerox machines who was fairing bashing with third place man, Troy Corser. The Two Australians were going at it hammer and tongs during the final few laps of the race.
Neukirchner came under some tough moves from Bayliss, the pair actually made contact which unsettled the young German. He finished the race in fourth place.
Fonsi Nieto had a good run on the green PSG-1 Kawasaki finishing in fifth place. He was ahead of Max Biaggi who also got caught up in the turn one crash and had to work his way through just like Toseland.
Toseland came over the line in seventh place salvaging points for his title chase. Ruben Xaus was in eighth and was duffed up mid corner by Biaggi and Toseland simultaneously as they made their way forward.
Regis Laconi the local French rider was ninth and Roberto Rolfo completed the top ten.
Toseland came over the line in seventh place and now has 405 points, 17 clear of Haga who is second. Race two will decide the Championship.
Race Two
James Toseland and his Hannspree Ten Kate Honda team have taken the 2007 Corona Extra World Superbike Championship.
The race win went to Noriyuki Haga on the Yamaha Italia machine who rode a faultless race, leading from lights to flag. He lost out on the title by just two points. Toseland actually finished in sixth place but it was sufficient to clinch his second World title.
Second place on the podium went to Max Biaggi on the Alstare Corona Extra Suzuki who had an epic battle with Troy Corser.
The final step of the podium went to the hard charging Fonsi Nieto on the PSG-1 Kawasaki. He had wanted a podium for his team before he moves on next year and that is exactly what he achieved.
Troy Corser had to settle for four place after two very physical battles with Biaggi and Nieto. The Australian was bumped into by both riders leaving him with his feet off the pegs and lucky to stay on hi Yamaha Italia.
