- ~ ~ @ ~ ~ ~ -~ ,~ with his day, his on-trade performance d oing plenty to throw fuel on the rumor that he is a wan ted man by team managers in the Wo rld Superbike Series . "Those g uys were really r un n i n g hard: ' Du Hamel said. "I tried to hang w ith John an d also Carl when he came b y. I was thinkin g, obviously like a lot of p eople, that Carl would p ul l me up to John. I think I was trying a little bit too h ard. C arl pulled a gap, but th e g a p s tayed pretty even fo r a while. Th en I started getting p re ssure from, I think, Chili, Russell and I d on ' t know w ho else - b u t I k n o w I s a w t h o s e gu ys ' pit boards coming out w h en I came around. I w as ju s t trying to do th e be st race I co uld and it was a faster race for me, but it wa s a bit painful after what happened yesterday. " Yanagawa finall y came th rough w ith a performance nearly equal to the one he turned i n d u ri n g q u alify in g. The . Japanese rid er sta rted slo w ly again, b ut st ormed through th e pack to close in on the Dul-lamel /Russell battle lat e in the race . H e e ven tu a lly settl ed for fifth, ahead of Chili, the Italian finally getling a good result at Lag u na. Then ca m e Piergiorgio Bon tem pi and a hard-riding Kipp. For Kocinski, it was a pe rfect en d ing to a perfect weekend. "It' s never easy to win and I'm very happy," Kocinski sai d . "It's like a dream for me to come here and finally get this done. Last year I was robbed of a w in. This year I ca me back and put a lo t of pressure on m yself - I knew I could do it. This tra ck h asn 't been very good, unfortunately, to Honda - but today we proved that all wrong. This is H ond a's first win here sin ce Wayne Rainey won back in 1987." ."
