Brno 2003
[autotranslated from japanese]
The Czech GP, marking the start of the second half of the season, saw riders who had recharged their energy during the summer break deliver fierce performances from qualifying onwards. Rossi secured pole position, his fifth of the season and first in four races. Gibernau, Biaggi, and Capirossi followed closely behind. On the second row were Checa, Bayliss, Hayden, and Ukawa. Even Barros, who was ninth on the third row, was within a second of Rossi, making for a thrilling battle.
The race itself saw a fierce battle from the start among the four on the front row and Bayliss, who got off to a good start from the second row. Bayliss took the holeshot, followed by Rossi, Biaggi, Gibernau, and Capirossi. Bayliss used his unique line, utilizing the entire track. Rossi struggled to overtake him, but once he took the lead in the middle of the race, he seized control of the race. However, Gibernau then attacked, and Bayliss refused to give up, turning it into a fierce three-way battle. Rossi held the lead, but it was a fight where you couldn't let your guard down for a single moment. Then, with two laps to go, Gibernau overtook Rossi to take the lead. However, Rossi reversed the situation again on the final lap to secure his third victory of the season.
Last year, he was the only rider to miss the top spot due to tire trouble. Furthermore, in the previous race in Germany, he suffered a last-lap defeat to Gibernau, but he brilliantly avenged that loss. Gibernau finished second. Bayliss finished third for the second consecutive race. Checa finished fourth for the third time this season, although he was not in contention for the win. Capirossi, who was in the leading group, retired due to machine trouble. Biaggi, who is most comfortable on this track, fell back after a near-crash slip and finished the race in fifth place.
