Mazzacane had to settle for third. Griewe, knowing he had to win the second moto to take first overall, ~gain jammed into the lead while being and pursued by Zitterkopf Mazzancane. Howeve, like the first moto, Zitterkopf managed to slip past . the leader on the second lap. From there on, the moto was a carbon copy of the first as Zitterkopf managed' to take the win followed by Griewe and Mazzacane. In 250cc lntermediate action, Suzuki pilot Jeff Clark grabbed the lead in the first moto pursued by Kevin Brooks (Yam), Rick Vanderham (Yam) and Jim Vermillion (Yam).
