Neither, however, have had it easy. Rossi wins in the first turns of the race a touch with Roberts who sent him to eighth. The Italian has responded with great energy and has since recovered to set up the lead, while team-mate Tohru Ukawa struggled until the last lap for a place on the podium that has gotten ahead of Capirossi. Nieto has also come a bit late but has been able to scale up its efforts until six laps to go when he launched an attack to which nothing has been able to do its rivals.
Displacement of 125 in the victory went to the Italian Lucio Cechinello that has been imposed in a thrilling final to compatriot Manuel Poggiali. The test has been disputed but not really Spanish presence on the podium. Dani Pedrosa has suffered suspension problems and accused the fall on Saturday.
