HThe blood-curdling Italian prestige duel between David Philippaerts and Tony Cairoli eventually went to 'DP'! Max Nagl came third ahead of Leok. Suzuki teammates Desalle –who set the fastest lap of the race- and Ramon came fifth and sixth. Just like during the Starcross on Saturday, Strijbos went around quite well, the Beursfoon-Suzuki pilot came eighth. De Reuver and De Dycker had to be satisfied with fifteenth and nineteenth place respectively.

Thunderbirds are going!
