2009 Assen World Supersport Race Result - Another Thriller Decided In The Last Corner

Result of the World Supersport race at Assen:

Eugene Laverty won the World Supersport race at Assen by the smallest of margins. Laverty battled Cal Crutchlow, Joan Lascorz, Fabien Foret and Andrew Pitt for much of the race, but after Andrew Pitt crashed out at the Strubben hairpin, Crutchlow and Foret lost touch with Laverty and Lascorz. Crutchlow battled his way back to Laverty and Lascorz, slowly catching the leading pair. Lascorz got past Laverty with two laps to go, but the race was decided on the final lap. Crutchlow stuffed his Yamaha inside Laverty's Parkalgar Honda at the Ruskenhoek corner, but then ran wide, and Laverty was back. The race was finally settled as tradition dictates at Assen, on the run into the final GT chicane. Laverty stuffed his bike ahead of Lascorz' Kawasaki to take victory.
