October 3, 2010 - Max Biaggi won his first World Superbike Championship and the first also for Aprilia with his fourth place finish in Race 1 at Magny Cours today. His first place in Race 2 was simply icing on the cake.
Yamaha rider Cal Crutchlow took two podiums with a race win and a second place.
The thrilling first race at the Magny Cours circuit saw a seamless performance by Crutchlow. The MotoGP-bound rider dealt with Race 1 in style, taking a clear victory nearly four seconds ahead of closest rider Leon Haslam at the line.
Crutchlow had dropped off pole initially to fourth but recovered quickly on the second lap, passing both Sylvain Guintoli and Michele Fabrizio in one clean move to take second behind race leader Max Biaggi. He made his move on Biaggi on lap eight; a sequence of corners saw the two fight for position before Crutchlow closed the door and moved into the lead which he held to the end.
The fastest lap of both races was taken by Crutchlow, giving him eight fastest race laps for the year, beating Carlos Checa to take the Pirelli Best Lap Award 2010: Fastest Rider of the Year.
He leaves the championship in fifth place in the final standings just 13 points adrift of Checa in third. He can also claim Rookie of the Year with three race wins, six Superpoles and ten podiums.
