Camier enjoyed maiden Superbike glory in the opening race as he headed off the late, determined challenges from his series-leading Airwaves Ducati team-mate Byrne.

Former champion Byrne turned the tables with a remarkable winning ride in the second rain-soaked race.

He had to stop on the first lap as Karl Harris high-sided in front of him.

But then, defying the difficult conditions, Byrne carved through the pack from 13th place to snatch the lead with two laps remaining.

That seventh victory gave Byrne (235 points) an extended lead over of Camier (152) who moves second, a point clear of HM Plant Honda rider Cal Crutchlow, who finished fourth and third.
