Lausitzring



Hi all. It's my first post in this new blog and it's about Lausitzring. First training in friday was all about learning the track. I was suprised that it was so bumpy. In QP1 we had new tires. Almost half of the practice, i spend to feel comfortable on the bike and in the end there were many slower riders in front of me and i felt like i was able to go faster. In the second QP i had one good lap and by this lap i was seventh. All the practice i was alone and i think it would have been better with some faster guys. Anyways we were happy because i had my first second row start. Sunday at race i had quite good start but the first corner for me was not so good. I lost a few places and for some laps i stayed with group and had some gap to first group. After some laps i could get free from group and I and Thurmayer started to catch Rofner. It was well done from Thurmayer that he didn't start to pass me from slipstream because we would have lost many time and maybe couldn't catch Rofner. In the end it was great fight with Rofner and Thurmayer with many great maneuvers. On the last lap they both pass me and it was not sure for me how it was going to end. Unfortunately Thurmayer crash in the last lap and from there Rofner got better away. Of course i was happy with the fifth place but always you feel that you could do better. It was a nice race, but i feel sorry for Aris. He did a great race and then got disqualified for so simple thing. I think thats all about Lausitzring and now we are looking forward to Oschersleben. See you there.
