Hug hes finis hed in fifth p lace. Once again , it wa s Maschio w ho rode to the front of the pack at the start of the second moto, th.is time ah ead of Beirer, Co p p in s, Vu ill emi n an d Br ia n Jo rge nsen. Everts wa s back in 10th pl ace and Hu gh es in 15th. Before the first lap was ov er, Bei rer had already taken over the lead , bu t it wo u ld not be an easy position for th e Ger ma n to hold . By lap three, Maschio, Be lley and Co ppins were all nip ping at his heels. Coppi ns' challenge, however , d id not last for lon g, as he soon dropped off the p ace, b ut Ma schi oan d Bolley were relentless in their pursuit of Beirer . Lap after lap, the thr ee fron tru nners bat tled b ack a n d forth . Maschio had taken th e lead from Beirer on the sixth la p bu t gave it up to Beiter on the eigh th lap, at wh ich tim e Beire r took ov er for good. But Beirer cou ld not rest. ; "So me of the thing s Beirer was doing \yas not w hat I would do," Bolley said. " H e w as r idin g ve ry di rty , m aki n g m o v es so 1 co u ld n o t g et pa st. Th e ch am pi o nship still has se vera l races to . go and for Pit to be doing that th is early makes me feel comfo rtable with tak ing the championshi p." · Beirer, w ho is so me times kn own for ~is w ild ' rid in g style, wa s a littl e less concerned w ith Belley's confidence. · "I rod e very aggress ive," Beirer sai d . "That is m y sty le. 1 migh t've gotten a little close and stopp ed him from passing m e, but that's m otocro ss. On this track, you hav e to d o everything to wi n, a si ngle point mi ght d ecid e this ch a m p io ns hip . 1 wi ll say thou gh, that .was my tou gh est win ever." Alt h o u gh Beirer w o n th e m oto, it w as Boll e y w ho go t the overa ll a n d mad e up som e po ints on his ri val. But with th e ne xt round of th e ch a m pionship to be played o ut on th e N ismes track in Bel gium, Beir er is b rimmin g wi th confidence. " I h ad m y g rea tes t m om ent in mo to cross a t th a t tr ack ," Beir er sa id (referring to his wi nning both mo tos at the Mot ocro ss des Na tions in 1997). "I will go th ere wi th a lot of confide nce." I Els ew heredow n the fie ld , Ev erts c aimed a consistent fourth place, finishing ahead of Coppi ns, Pichon, Jorge nsen an d Hu gh es. "I felt very stro ng ," Everts said. "My co n d ition is p e rf e ct. N o w a fte r two motes, 1 am su re 1 am al ready ready to eN win races. It' s good to be back."
