Brad lackey posted best American finish with eighth place.
showdown between he and Bauer was
squelched. But it was obviously Willi
Bauer's day; he had the track and his
machine locked in, and perhaps the
image of "World Champion" stamped in
his consciousness. Only four points
separate him from the defending
champion, and only three meetings
remain in the GP series. Maico has
mounted the strongest European
challenge, and they're getting close. But
the next event is- in Belgium, DeCoster's
home. It's shaping up as an exciting
fmish to an uneven season.

the early leaders, but Payne quickly
moved up and got by both of them.

but Grossi consistently shut him out.

in pursuit of Holcomb.

as Grossi repassed West only to watch
Bruce Baron outpower both of them
and moye in to second place. Holcolmb
