Pichon could still snatch fourth from Dave Strijbos with a win if the Du tchman - a first-race faller - failed to score again, but the big battle was still the three-cornered affair of Pichon with Vialle and Beirer, while Manneh and Mauro Dal' Lago were separated by a single point for eighth.

A couple of laps later t he Kawasakimounted Vialle threw in the towel after another fall, thus apparently securing Pichon's des Nations ride, and by half distance both Frenchmen were back in the pits. Manneh gated better this time and was initially ninth, fou r places behind Da l'L ago , before a crash cost him hi s cha nces of the number-eight rankin g.
