As in England, he was joined on the podium at the technically undemanding Holice track by championship pace-setters Greg Albertyn and Stefan Everts. The South African, Albertyn, incr eased his narrow lead in the s tand ings over . the Belgian, Everts .i.by one p oint to three, w hile the Frenchman is a further 60 points back. . The onl y other rider to split the trio all d ay was Dema ria ' s Pepsi Honda g teammate Tallon Vohland, who pu shed Everts dow n to fourth in the opening mo to and was fifth overall on the d ay. The Ame rican had been ninth in moto two, and was th e lone bright light for America. Trampas Parker lost a dose decision for sixth to his English friend Rob Herring in the opener, but did not fin ish race two, while Donny Schmit's d reams of a third wo rld crown were buried for ano ther year. Still handicap ped by the sho ulder he dislocated two weeks earlier in Belgium, the Minnesotan was put out of the first mo to on the opening lap, and a brave ride to the finish in race tw o was only rewa rded with 18th. Schmit now trails Albertyn by 87 points and has been pushed down to fifth in the standings by Demaria an d consistent Belgian Marnicq Bervoets. eN CzechGP Hollce, Czech Repub lic Results: June 26, 1994 (Round 9 of 15) MOTO 1: 1.
