seconds after some close action with early season sensation Ste- ven Odendaal, on the always-fast Bardahl Evan Bros. WorldSSP Yamaha. Luca Bernardi (CM Racing Yamaha) took second place by lap 14 of 18, for another runner- up performance after his Iberian breakthrough. Odendaal was an almost surprising third. Jules Cluzel (GMT94 Yamaha) only just won a fight for fourth with the impudent and increas- ingly fast Spanish rider, Manuel Gonzalez (Yamaha ParkinGo Team). The Kawasakis were not on podium pace, with Philipp Ottl (Kawasaki Puccetti Racing) the best of them, but still only sixth and 10 seconds down. In race two, a red flag ap- peared after a drop in track conditions at turn four, as riders started to crash out. A new race, 12 laps long, was called after the track was cleaned and cleared. Aegerter won that again—his third race win of the year so far—after Odendaal missed his calls to do a long lap for exceed- ing the track limits and was then docked a few seconds, enough to put him fifth in such a close fight up front. With the Swiss Aegerter win- ning, Bernardi was second yet again, and Cluzel third. The WorldSSP season just keeps getting more and more compelling, with Aegerter with 119 points, Odendaal at 102, Ber- nardi at 82 and Ottl with 72. No Donington for the 600cc scream team, they will be back at Assen. Gordon Ritchie WORLDSBK Race One 1. Michael Ruben Rinaldi (Duc) 2. Toprak Razgatlioglu (Yam) 3. Jonathan Rea (Kaw) 4.
