"lt felt good, but we need to adapt the setting." His last victim had been Kawasaki's Randy de Puniet, with Chris Vermeulen another five seconds adrift on the second Suzuki. "ffhis isl my flrst time in Mu8ello, and I really enjoyed it, even though it wasn't the result I'd have liked," Vermeulen said. Tech 3 Yamaha's Carlos Checa took a lonely last point, almost 20 seconds ahead of his teammate ,ames Ellison, with Jose Luis Cardoso and his Pramac d'Antin Ducati one lap down, and last. His team- mate Alex Hofmann was the only other nonfinisher, having crashed out on the same lap as Stoner. Fittingly, after such a close race, the championship also became closet with Capirossi and Hayden tied with 99 points each, the former officially in first place because of his race win at lerez. Melandri has 89 points, Pedrosa has 86 - and Rossi, with 65 points, is up to fifth, past Stoner. Cll lbrdn oI vlco?t: J75 *. t .t-t Lp: lsB C.piro6sl, I:50.195.
