The San Marinese GP at Misano was a dramatic one and caused some controversy. In the penultimate lap of the race the Italian Simone Corsi, Héctor Faubel and Gábor Talmácsi (who had some illness throughout the weekend and wasn't in a perfect physical state) were battling for second place (the race was led by Mattia Pasini). Corsi and Faubel crashed while Talmácsi could keep going and finished in second place, again leading the championship before Faubel, who did not score after arriving in 17th place.
