Belgian Jacky Martens (1), aboard a Husqvama four-stroke chases down Great Brillan's Mervyn Anstle. Martens, the defending 500cc champ, won the first moto. Anstle reco rded 4-7 finis hes. following Sunday's 11th ro u n d, was Everts' downfall. He crashed off the track at a rutted sandy jump and broke a collarbone; after flying bac k to Belgium that evening. the break was pinned the follow ing da y (Th urs day). Ev erts intends to race at Budds Creek. It was at the very same Heinola track Donny Schmit clinched the 250cc Worl d titl e in 199 2, d esp it e a cra s h in t h e whoops during practic e. In th e abs ence of h is a r ch rival, .Albertyn was looking to take maximum advantage of the situati on on race day; but two falls in the opener, one as he moved menacing ly forward to challenge fourth, saw him restricted to fifth. A win in the second moto extended his renewed standings lead to 30 points, but was not quite enough to give him the GP win. That honor went to Frenc hman Yves Demaria for the third time in fo u r races . A first t u r n crash h a d restricted Demaria's scoring in Sweden. Ra ci n g was close in Sweden with plenty of passing. By contrast, both of the Finnish races were runaways, with few positional cha nges, even though the lower leaderboard was closely bunched all the way to the checkered flag. The Americans posted fluctuating results. Do nny Schmit dropped to sixth in the standings, despite being on the pa ce in Swed en, while Tallon Vohland could only pos t one re s u lt each w eekend. Tram pas Parker su ffered at the first tum ' in Sw eden, batt led to sixth overa ll in Finl and, advancing him back to eighth in the points table, on e place ahead of Vohland. a SwedlshGP Uddevalla, Sweden Results: July 10, 1994 (Round 10 of 15) MOTO 1: 1.
