Young Australian won third race of season and now leads the overall standings with 10 points advantage in front of Valentino Rossi. Second place took Toni Ellias, while third place went to Loris Capirossi. Race in Istanbul was extremely spectacular due to a close contact battles between many riders. Kawasaki's Randy De puniet (Akrapovic exhaust system) showed some great moves and we hope his misforune this season is over. Unfortunatly we cannot say the same for his teammate Olivier Jacque, who fell down in opening laps and could not continue with race.
