Loeb finished over a minute in front of Subaru's Chris Atkinson as he chases his fifth consecutive world title.
Series leader Mikko Hirvonen suffered a series of punctures to finish fourth, Loeb is now within a point of the lead after three rounds.
After stalling on the grid, superbike rider Michel Fabrizio received a push start from two other riders. The Italian lost a tyre and his boot but eventually restarted, shortly afterwards Aussie Russell Holland plowed into Carlos Checa.
Max Biaggi later broke his wrist and narrowly escaping a crushing by his flying Ducati, while Aussie veteran Troy Bayliss avoided all the carnage to win both races in his final year of competition. |
