Doctor Rossi was also unbeatable in the Spanish GP

Valentino Rossi once again shows off his class and... his bike.

Observing the tests on Friday and Saturday it seemed almost obvious that the GP would end like this, with yet another victory for the reigning world champion.

Perhaps there could have been some surprises from his teammate, but this time Valentino wanted to make Tohru Ukawa understand who is truly the strongest.

Capirossi had a good race, trying until the last corner to get on the podium together with his compatriot and Daijiro Katoh, but Tohru Ukawa's Honda Rcv 211 didn't let him.

Unlucky Biaggi who, after an early start, did not see the "Stop and go" sign and was therefore disqualified for not stopping.
