Distribution of points
space	1	2	3	4th	5	6th	7th	8th	9	10	11	12	13	14th	15th
Points	25th	20th	16	13	11	10	9	8th	7th	6th	5	4th	3	2	1

All the results achieved were included in the evaluation.

useful information

• All pilots competed on Pirelli uniform tires.
• Yukio Kagayama was unable to take part in the race in Australia after a training crash.
• The places eight and nine of the second run in Australia were subsequently swapped between Michel Fabrizio and Max Neukirchner . According to the timing, both had crossed the finish line at the same time. However, the transponder was on Neukirchner's machine behind the engine, on Fabrizios on the front. On the finish photo, the commissioners mistook Fabrizio for Lorenzo Lanzi and therefore did not notice the mistake. After checking the target photo again, the result was corrected by the FIM .
• From the race in Donington , the Pedercini team fielded a second Ducati for the Italian Luca Morelli .
• Team Sterilgarda registered a second motorcycle for the Italian Giovanni Bussei for the races in Donington and Valencia .
