Broc Parkes scored a fortuitous win for the Yamaha World Supersport team in the opening round of the championship at Losail as his team-mate Fabien Foret, race leader since the early stages, ran out of fuel on the final lap. The Australian still had to fight for the win however against Spain's Joan Lascorz who was ahead with a couple of corners remaining. Parkalgar Honda's Craig Jones was also in contention right until the very end and the British rider took the final podium slot. The entire HANNspree Ten Kate team was eliminated on the second lap as Jonathan Rea crashed in front of Andrew Pitt, causing his team-mate to go down in the process. Both riders suffered a series of nasty cuts and abrasions.
