Sachsenring GP






Sachsenring... We went to Sachsenring with big expectations because it was like my home track and my team is from there. The first qualifying was not so good because it was half wet and i didn't find my speed. I was in seventh place and huge gap to front. To second practice it started to rain, so i couldn't do a better time but i felt much better on the bike. I started from the seventh place and had a great start. In first corner i was third and from first lap i came first. From the first corner i felt perfect on the bike. I could stay with front guys and after some laps i went away with Aris and Michi. We had great fight where every guy had some place on track where he was faster and can overtake so many maneuvers also. In the lap before last they both braked to inside my after finish line and Michi braked a little too late and touched a little bit Aris' rear wheel. I stayed a little bit outside for safety and lost some time there but i could catch them again and i passed them both after the fast right corner going down but in Sachsencorner i made a mistake and they passed me both again. I couldn't go so good out from last corner to overtake them so i was third. Anyway it was perfect and a perfect place to be in podium. So, everything was perfect in that weekend. Loved it. Now a little brake and then Schleiz.

Red Bull Ring


 Hi again. Red Bull Ring was not so good for me. In first training as well as both qualifyings i couldn't find my speed and we didn't know where i lose it. So i started from the third row. In the evening we could understand what was wrong and in the race from the first lap i could go much faster. I had a good start and first corner i went completely outside and little bit over the asfalt outside the track. I could stay with the second group which was places 5-11. Again, it was a group with a heavy fight and great passings. Two laps before the end, Tietze pass me in the corner before last and crashed in front of me. There was not much place so i had to go over the grass and lost some seconds. I catched the group again and passed Stange but nothing more. It wasn't the best weekend for us but maybe in Sachsenring.
