Sachsenring IDM

So Sachsenring

We went again to be fast and win but sadly the race didn't go as we planned. Before the race-weekend we had one test on Sachsenring and then we didn't get any speed. We didn't find the problem and thought that it will be better on friday with other drivers. On friday it wasn't any different. The times were same as in test and place was 10-something. This didn't satisfy me and team so we started to search maybe there's anything with bike. We changed exhaust and did many dynotests but finally only found +1hp with what we still didn't have the perfect power. We didn't know anything else to do and hoped that it was better. On saturday practises the bike was very little better but still I wasn't able to be competitive. In qualifying I was again around 10th place. The race start was okay. I didn't lose places but I didn't win any either. In first laps I undestood that it's very very hard to go with first group but I still tried. I tried too hard and I started to make mistakes. I stayed with the same group around ten. The group was full of normally fast riders and the race was intense. Many manouvers and much action. I won some time in corners but I lost it again on straights. I had to do much work on corners. In last laps I tried to do my best to finish in front of the group and to get as many points as possible. Finally there was some action in last corner. Somebody crashed and yellow flags so I couldn't finish my move what I had planned for last corner so I finished in second from the group. It wasn't the weekend we wanted it to be but thanks to my team PZ Motorsport who worked very hard friday evening to get bike to best condition. Maybe we can find the mistake to Hockenheim.
