In the 250Cc Expert, second moto, John DeSoto (C Z) , was the lead , when he suddenly crossed up on a down hill, hitting a stake, and crashing. Llnds trom, who had gotten a bad start and had been try1ng to pass for s everal lap s - slowed down to nearly a complete s top - (allowlng some r Iders to pass) and watched to s ee If DeSoto was all rI ght. He was, and was soon up again and racing . Gunnar went on to win the moto, with DeSoto second. In the first moto, John held Gunnar at bIke length lap after lap, unt1l the SwedIsh pro found the slot, takIng over the lead, and eventually the win. In the fInal moto the shaken and tired DeSoto steadlly lost ground, taking a second nearly 30 seconds behind Llndstrom, who was the overall winner. But John came back In the 500 Senior class, w1nn1ng all three motos, John RIce (Malco) - the graylng-but-not-soold veteran of the TT track - was second overall.
