The race appeared to be going the way of Max Biaggi (Aprilia Alitalia), but he was handed a ride-through penalty for cutting a chicane; he recovered to finish eighth.
Third place went to Michel Fabrizio (Suzuki Alstare) but only after a massive fight with Pata Aprilia rider Noriyuki Haga.
In the championship standings Carlos Checa (Althea Racing Ducati) has 145 points, Melandri 118 and Biaggi 117. Laverty is now fifth.
