Michele Pirro (Yamaha Lorenzini by Leoni) was one of several fallers in the 12-lap 1000cc Superstock race, exiting after highsiding at the final hairpin on lap two, and restarting to finish 19th, out of the points. Pirro remains fifth in the championship chase, with 83 points. Claudio Corti (Yamaha Motor Italia Junior Team) fell in a first corner multiple-rider incident, and is 11th overall in the series.
Michelle Pirro (19th - Yamaha Motor Italia Lorenzini by Leoni):"I just lost the rear tyre and had to wait to get my bike restarted and that meant I was too far back to challenge. It's a shame but it was very tricky in those conditions."
Claudio Corti (DNF - Yamaha Motor Italia Junior Team):"I was out on the first corner, in a collision with other riders, and there was nothing I could do to carry on once we had stopped."
Baz Leads Despite Fall and Restart Loris Baz crashed his Yamaha Motor France Junior Team machine in the Superstock race but remounted to finish 12th, and defend his championship lead. He is now on 146 points to Vostarek's 121, with race winner Bussolotti third, on 106. Gino Rea was third on his Yamaha machine.
