Noriyuki Haga held a small but stable lead over Regis Laconi in the second World Superbike race at Oschersleben, Germany, until lap 23 of 28 when Haga retired with mechanical problems.

Laconi then rode on to an unchallenged victory, his fifth of the 2004 season.

Second place allowed Laconi’s teammate James Toseland to hold onto a slim lead in the World Superbike Championship standings, over Laconi.

Haga’s young teammate Leon Haslam scored his first-ever World Superbike podium finish with third in race two.
