From a press release issued by Cibertel Honda BQR:

Daniel Oliver Bultó, the cousin of MotoGP Gresini Honda star Sete Gibernau and grandson on the late Francisco Bultó, founder of the Bultaco factory, rode his Pita Inn Suzuki to third place in the penultimate round of the Spanish National Championship at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit of Valencia on Sunday, November 17th, to become the first ever Spanish Formula Xtreme Champion. Luis D´Antin, owner of the Antena 3 Yamaha D´Antin MotoGP team, drafted GP star Jose Luis Cardoso to ride an R1 alongside his regular rider Jose Oriol Fernandez in a last-ditch effort to keep Championship hopes alive for Yamaha´s leading rider Josep Sardá, a former 125 GP regular. Oriol won with Cardoso setting a new class record in a frantic race from 12th to second in 19 laps after a bad start. Sardá, however was seventh and then was later disqualified for unauthorized airbox modifications.

Former American dirt tracker Kenny Noyes, 23, was 12th on his Cibertel BQR Honda Fireblade, the first Honda home in a series dominated by Suzuki and Yamaha machines this year.

In other Valencia action GP regulars Hector Barberá and Hector Faubel both on Aprilias, won in 125 and 250, each clinching the national championship.

Supersport winner was former Team Roberts Modenas 500 rider David de Gea who won easily on his Coronas Suzuki from D´Antin Yamaha riders Javier del Amor and Jose Oriol Fernandez. Championship leader del Amor needs finish only 13th to clinch the title next week in Jerez even if his chief rival Bernat Martinez wins.

WCM GP team director Peter Clifford was on hand in Spain having a close look at both Cardoso and de Gea on four strokes as possible MotoGP riders for the WCM MotoGP team in 2003. The team, owned by American Bob McLean, is in the final stages of deciding between racing a special NCR Ducati Twin or a Harris-framed machine powered by a prototype 990cc four-cylinder engine developed from the R1 Yamaha.
