useful information

  • In South Africa, the winner of the second run, Noriyuki Haga , was disqualified because of a positive doping test . Troy Corser became third . Haga's protest against this decision, which ran throughout the season, was unsuccessful. In addition, he was not allowed to start at the last event of the season at Brands Hatch.
  • The event at Brands Hatch replaced the runs originally planned in Imola .
  • In Australia, the four-time world champion Carl Fogarty had a bad accident in a collision while lapping and suffered a shoulder injury that subsequently forced him to retire. The Australian Troy Bayliss took his place in the Ducati factory team .
