VN Portugala: Rossi prvi uz rekord staze

Danas je za veliku nagradu Portugala, na stazi u Estorilu, održana jedanesta ovosezonska utrka za motocikliste. Najzanimljivija je bila utrka u kraljevskoj klasi do 500ccm. Nakon starta Biaggi, Robert jr.i Capirossi izbijaju na prve pozicije. Već na prvom zavoju Abe ruši Alexa Barossu, spektakularni sudar na samom početku ranije izbacuje iz utrke i Gibernau i Crivillea. Već u trećem krugu Rossi prelazi Capirosia i Biaggia. Do kraja utrke Rossi je bio na čelnoj poziciji zahvaljujući svojim sjajnim vozačkim sposobnostima, srušivši rekord staze koji je i sam postavio, i zahvaljujući superiornoj Hondi.
