Hello,
Maybe the sticker set helped this weekend because we had one of the best races so far. Riding was good and with 19 entries we ended up with the 17th place in the training. The Vaabina track was hard and fast and the lap times were close. Normally a fast and hard track isn't my favourite but this time it was going better than expected.
We started from the second row and did choose for the inside line. This worked out very well and we battled during the whole race with some other teams for the positions 12-17. At the end the 13th position was our reward and we were happy with this result. It was close racing till the last corner and we really had to work for it.
For the second heat we did choose the same spot behind the gate but the team partially in front of us stalled their engine when the gate dropped. We succeeded to circle around them but arriving at the first corner it was our engine that stalled. When restarted nothing left but a race from behind. After the first lap we had contact again with the pack and started to press. We had a battle for some laps but didn't had the strength to pass any more. I decided to secure our position and we passed the finish line at the 14th position.
Next weekend a double in Finland for the national championship, Heinola and Salo.
Regards, Stephan
