record, being black-flagged for an
obvious jump start, then being blackflagged once more after speeding out
of pit lane when he came in for his
mandatory stop-and-go penalty.
Thinking he was being called in for a
technical problem, he returned directly to his pit and shut the engine off,
by which time he was out of con·
tention for points.
Yanagawa, in the doldrums all
weekend, scored 10 points for sixth,
just ahead of another struggling SBK
star, Chili.
Xaus' slip from potential hero to
struggler may have been due to his
technical package, rather than his
own abilities.
Toseland held off his race-one bele
noir Chambon, who in turn got the
better of Borciani, although it was a
damned close thing.
Ulm was good for his 12th place
this time, ahead of Broc Parkes, Borja
and Pedercini.
