A fantastic Mattia Pasini ruled the Japanese GP in the 125 class. Under the torrid sun of the practice session, Mattia conquered the pole position, and with the rain that raged during the entire race, his N94 was always equal to the situation. The nth gratification for Nolan that was rewarded also by the good fifth place of Joan Olive.
Fifth place also for MARCO MELANDRI in the MotoGP race where, after leading the race for a good part on wet asphalt, he had to give way to the motorbike change as the track got progressively dry.
