Jonathan Rea fought off the attentions of Michael Fabrizio and Nori Haga to win the second round at Misano.

The Hannspree Ten Kate Honda rider battled it out with the Ducati Xerox pair before taking the victory in San Marino.

All three riders led the race before Rea and Fabrizio did battle for the win on the last lap.

Rea took over the lead from Fabrizio going into the first corner and held a narrow advantage until they crossed the line, with championship points leader Haga just behind in third.

The race was a reversal of fortunes for Haga and nearest title rival Ben Spies on the Yamaha World Superbike machine.

Spies had won race one but could only finish ninth in the second leg.

Behind the leading trio in race two came pole man Jakub Smrz (Guandalini Ducati), Carlos Checa (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda), Shane Byrne (Sterilgarda Ducati) and Tom Sykes (Yamaha World Superbike).

Leon Haslam (Stiggy Racing Honda), Spies and Max Biaggi (Aprilia Racing) completed the top 10.

Spies took his eighth win of an impressive debut season in race one which started in wet conditions but changed to dry.

Spies waited his time to take over the lead from Byrne who had dominated the race until riders made their pit stops to switch to dry tyres.

Spies held an eight-second advantage over Byrne at the flag and Fabrizio completed the podium.

Fabrizio won a terrific battle with pole man Smrz who closed him down rapidly in the closing stages of the race.

Haga secured fifth place on a circuit where he has not done well in the past with a late pass on fellow Japanese rider Yukio Kagayama (Alstare Suzuki) one of the highlights.

Rea was seventh despite a ride-trough penalty. Sykes, Shinya Nakano (Aprilia) and Matthieu Lagrive (Althea Honda) completed the top 10.
