The final lap - lap twenty-one - has begun and Schwantz has two more backmarkers to pass - Jean Pierre Jeandat and Cristiano Migliorati. He does so without problems, even waving at the crowd for a split second before he enters Dunlop. Doohan behind him has now opened up a significant gap back to teammate Ito. At the Casio Triangle, the fans cheer for Schwantz as he goes through, crossing the line in jubilant fashion - doing a wheelie - to win his first race of the year. Behind him, Doohan finishes in second and Ito in third place, the home fans cheering for him as he crosses the line. Cadalora crosses the line in fourth, Barros in fifth and Honma in sixth.
