SALZBURG, AUSTRIA, JULY 9
nother fast track, another
chance for the four-cylinder
brigade to make a charge
against the Ducatis. It did
~ot matter much for reignIng World Champion and
current series points leader
Carl Fogarty; the Briton won
one race and finished second in the other one, extending his lead over Aaron Slight and
Troy Corser. Corser and fellow Australian Anthony Gobert did, however,
leave a fine impression on the highspeed Alp circuit. AMA Superbike .
Champion Corser won his first-ever
WSC race for his Austrian team and
Gobert took his Muzzy Kawasaki twice
to the rostrum .
RACE ONE
. Yasutomo Nagai's fast qualifying

might have raised the hopes of the
four-cylinder brigade, but it did nothing to temper the enthusiasm of
Ducati's front man Fogarty. As soon as
