250cc
Marco Simoncelli on the Metis Gilera claimed the victory in the Sunday 250cc class followed by Mattia Pasini on the Team Toth Aprilia and Mapfre Aspar Team rider Alvaro Bautista in third.
While it has now been confirmed that Alvaro Bautista will be moving up to the Rizla Suzuki MotoGP team from 2010, he will be left feeling a little embarrassed today after losing his bike while doing a wheelie across the line.
On the slowing-down lap, Bautista lifted his front wheel high in the air to perform an impressive wheelie for the crowd, unfortunately, he lost control and was thrown off the back of his bike and was left sitting in the middle of the track while his machine suffered considerable damage.
Hiroshi Aoyama for the Scot Racing team finished in fourth place followed by Roberto Locatelli on the second Metis Gilera and Raffaele de Rosa on the second Scot Racing bike.
In seventh place was Héctor Barbera on the Pepe World Team bike ahead of Jules Cluzel on the Matteoni Racing bike, Mike di Meglio for the Mapfre Aspar team and Héctor Faubel on the Honda SAG machine to complete the top ten riders.
Karel Abraham on the Cardion AB Motoracing bike crashed out on the first corner of his home race after making contact with Thomas Luthi on the Emmi – Caffe Latte bike.
