Hi guys,
Last weekend I rode a race in the International German Motorcycle Championship (IDM) run in Schleiz, with my KTM 125cc GP. Friday, in the free practice sessions, I was able to steadily improve. The first Qualy on Saturday morning went well and I was fourth. In the second Qualy we changed something on the bike and I could not improve more and dropped to 5th position.
On Sunday morning at 8:30 clock in the morning there was the warm-up and it was really good. I was 1st. Then it rained before the other races, so that my race was delayed by 45 minutes. It dried-off and the racing line was dry. The start was good and I was 1st in the first 2 corners. There was a group of about 6 riders and I was able to assert leadership.
There was also my team-mate in the group and I fought with Philipp and the other riders. In the last corner before the start-finish it was very tight but I could keep my 3rd position.
At the end with just a blink of the eye I missed out on 2nd place. I'm looking forward to Brno.
See you! Flo #66
