On the las t lap, Pons led down th e short straigh t before th e fi n al tw o right-hand corners with Garriga trying him on the inside. Pons countered the move, Garriga back ed off and the victory went to th e Honda rider. "My bike is fast and I knew I could pass him on the last lap. Every race It gets better," Pons said. " I had to dose th e door o n him and maybe I touched him with my leg. Down th e straight o n the last lap I kn ew he would try a nd co me past and I was just far eno ugh in front and th en with only one corner to go he could not pass."

The Wor ld Championship is now closer a nd I must try to win each race to the end of the season." • 'SI ISSUES FOR Results 500 : 1. Eddie Lawson (Yam); 2. Wayne Gardner (Han); 3 .
