Max Biaggi of Aprilia Alitalia finished the season at Magny-Cours as the Champion of the World Superbike Championship. Even though Biaggi was the overall champion of the series, he had to settle for fourth place in the first race. Cal Crutchlow of Yamaha Sterilgarda was a lonely winner as he took first place by 3.779 seconds in race number one of the final round of the World Superbike Championship. Behind Crutchlow, Leon Haslam of Suzuki Alstare battled it out with Carlos Checa of Althea Racing Ducati as the racers moved out in front of Biaggi to fill up the podium positions for the first race of the final round. At the end of the race, it was Haslam in second place followed by Checa in third, with champion Biaggi with a fourth place finish. Even with a fourth place finish, Biaggi still scored enough points to win the championship.
