The rain had transformed the track into a big mud pool making the races though. But this didnšt keep our Formula Europe riders from giving their best. In Junior Men, Bastien Merle was eliminated on Saturday in the quarters, but on Sunday he made it all the way to the main event in which he just missed out on the podium with a 4th place. Sandra Aleksejeva, Rookie in the Elite Women Category, lacked some power on the heavy track against the more powerfull riders in her category. However on Saturday, she managed to qualify for the main in which she took 6th place. On Sunday, she was eliminated in the motos. Kevin Sprengers was racing his last race before getting a shoulder surgery that will keep him of his bike the rest of this season. Kevin was eliminated in the quarters on both days. Kevin ends his season in 10th place of the European Elite Men Ranking. We wish him all the best with his surgery and speedy recovery. We are looking forward to see him back on his Formula bike next season. Our other Elite Men Rider Edzus Treimanis successfully defended his 4th place in the ranking this weekend. On Saturday, he missed the cut in the quarters with a 5th place finish. On Sunday, Edzus qualified for the main event. With a great move in the first turn, he went from 5th place into the lead and kept his position till the finish line. Edzus was stoked with his victory and said hešs ready for the final rounds in Sandness (Norway) in 3 weeks.
