the b ottlenecks that occurred at each
section, b u t was happy to have finished
ahead of Tarres. " It' s a shame we could
not end this trial the same way we finished Saturday 's prologue. I must say
that I was not looking for a third place,
but this has permitted me to fi n i sh
a h ead of [ordi and move w ithin o n e
point of the series points lead. Now we
must worry about Ahvala, who I am
t ied with for second, an d h e ha s t he
advantage of a win."
Tarres had no excuses for his fou rthplace finish. "There was n o probl em
with the bike, and I w as not tired," he
said. "I simply could not find the technique to ride th e sect io n s. I thought I
could do better. On the last lap I had an
unnecessary five, obviously not m y best
moment. The lead I enjoyed in the.
Cha mpions h ip points has turned to
smoke. Young riders like Ga rcia and
Lampkin can cau se u s much trouble in
the future."
