ing and cycling to get me fit since 1 wrecked my ankle and can 't run, but the doctor say s my hand will take longer if 1 ride midweek. " The cha11enges of Vialle and Maschio were in tatters from the first lap: Vialle cras hed with Fanton in the first tu m, and had to ride a blinder just to secure eigh th , while an other fall for Maschio afte r 12 minutes left him nearly last. Ea sily the best It alian was Er ik Camerlengo. Racing for the first time in a month but showing no signs of tired ness the De Carli teamster confirmed his Saturday speed to advance s t ro ng ly from eighth to fourth. Marcus Hansson, meanwhile, pulled out after 15 minutes after gating ninth. "The heat got me," admitted Hansson. . "After being sick all week my eyes started to cross and 1 had to stop. There is no point starting race two." Tortelli's start was no t so good in race two, but he quickly advanced from 10th, passing the holeshotting Carnerlengo befo re the end of the second lap. Vialle had also been forcin g his wa y up th e lead e rboa rd in a desperate attempt to hold onto his compatriot, and for two more laps he pushed hard on TorteIli's rear wheel until the first excursion into the tapes left him with an ineffecti ve rear brake until the tape burnt out of the disc. By the ha lf-hou r mark, Via lie was shattered physically, but so was nearly everyone else, and Malin could not get close enough to challenge. "I spent too long early on foHowing them pas t Ravagli," he said. "I kept trying to close down Vialle, but the gap was staying cons tan t and in the end 1 had to settle for third." Moore had gated badly. " I los t my balance just before the gate fell," he said after quitting after two laps. "There was no point in carrying on to finish 15th or somethin g like tha t." Another early retirement was Mauro Dal Lago, who had crashed in the first tum . . Camerlengo held onto third for half the race before Malin came pas t, and, eventu ally tiring in the heat as could be expected af te r so many weeks out of action, lost fourth to Fanton, fresh after hi s early first-race exit, five minutes from the end. The strongest men in the pack in the closing stages were Brian Jorgensen an d Maschio as they ad vanced fr om way down to seventh and eighth. ~ Hungarian GP Kaposvar, Hun gary Results: May 19, 1996 (Round 5 of 12) MOTO 1: 1.
