have th e edge, despite losing a portion o f hi s fairing lo wers o n th e warmup lap. On th e fina l lap, Schwarzbach 's Yam aha expired, leaving Renfrow and Crevier to take th e battle to th e line. Crevier took the ru nnerup spot wi th Renfrow third, Kipp fourth , Kirk fifth and Harth sixth . " I had a lot of fun out th ere," Smi th sa id. "But it was lonesome up front. Once I got lapping slower traffic, I wasn't lonesome anymore. I had to keep pushing because th ese g uys Renfrow , Crevier , a nd th e rest go hard. I had a co u p le o f close moments near th e end wh en m y line go t bal ked a nd I had to do so me fan cy moves." Crevier was al so pl eased with hi s performance, althoug h he felt he cou ld have run with Smith if not for a prob lem o n both th e warmup lap a nd th e first co rne r. " O n th e warm-up lap I must hav e hit something a nd damaged th e low er bod ywork," th e Canadian said. " When I brought th e bik e back to th e g rid th e team took th e bottom off. It didn 't help th e aerodynamics for drafting at a ll. I needed to adjust th e clutch , but we didn 't have time; th e bodywork overru led th at. I hit a fa lse neutral going into turn o ne on th e start a nd cau sed a bit of a traffic j am . I th in k that was on e o f th e big things that a llowed Mike to ge t aw ay a nd everybody else to ge t by me. Perhaps th e ra ce would have been different if th ose th ings hadn 't happened." Crevi er al so had time late in th e ra ce to take a playful kick at his friend, St ev e McK issock , wh e n th e pa ck lapped th e Canadian. "It's abs o lutely unbelievab le," Renfrow said. " It (th ird pl ace) is more th a n I co u ld ha ve dr eamed I'd do. I didn 't expect to finish as good as third or do th e lap times tha t I d id ." Kyoto, Japan ' s Jun Maeda wa s cred ited wi th being the Top Expert fi nisher , th e first-year professiona l finishing seventh and taking an ear ly lead over John Ch oate, eigh th today, in the battle for th e Top Expert title that was won la st year by Tripp No bles.
