Just 8 tenths behind him there’s Michal Janak, who didn’t get the chance to overtake him. 3rd place for an amazing Jari Penttinen, who was taken out at the start and after that he made some beautiful moves on the other drivers. 4th place for Rob Russo, ahead of Erik Axelsson who, like Penttinen, made an wonderful comeback from the back of the grid. After this race Duplantier leads the championship, 5 points ahead of Penttinen.
