Following Saturday's race, Spies' team
went in a different direction with his setup.
"The whole bike was different from
yesterday," he said. "We changed gearboxes, we changed suspension."
On the 14th of 28 laps, Zemke found
an opening on Hodgson.
"Up in two, going into two I stuffed 'er
up the inside of him there," Zemke said.
"It's about the only place I could get him."
The rumble of Hodgson's V-twin was
constant and grew louder in the final few
laps when they hit tappers.
"He [Hodgson] was right on my tail on
that last lap," Zemke said. "I was just
happy to stay in front of him."
Duhamel was just behind Hodgson for
the first four laps before Zemke came
past. That left him in sixth, where he'd
finish after realizing there was no point in
being a hero.
"By the time I got by those three [Iappers] , that was it; there was only about
six, seven laps left," he said. "I wasn't
going to make a second a lap. That was a
little bit the winds out of my sail."
Bostrom was 20 seconds back and baf-
fled about why his F04 didn't work.
"We didn't make any change from
practice [when the bike worked well] to
the race," Bostrom said. "We were on
the same tire, same suspension, same
everything. It was confusing."
Hayes was by himself in eighth, with
Craggill passing Pegram for ninth on the
final lap.
