Team Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra riders Stephane Chambon and Katsuaki Fujiwara finished today's 28-lap race at Oschersleben in fourth and sixth positions when the chequered flag dropped, but were then sensationally moved up to first and second when six Hondas were disqualified.

Suzuki Alstare Corona Extra rider Stephane Chambon has won the World Supersport race at Oschersleben, after the original race winner, Karl Muggeridge was excluded.

Following confirmation that all MSMA manufacturers, other than Ducati, would not be entering - or officially supporting - any teams in the 2004 World Superbike championship, Alstare Suzuki have announced their withdraw from the class, although they will stay in World Supersport.

Having surprised the Supersport world by romping to a dominating victory last time out at Brands Hatch, Stephane Chambon has spent the mid summer break since then away from road racing, taking part in rallies in his French homeland.
