LAMMERT WINS THE OPENER
German Dominic Lammert won the opening round of the Suzuki
GSX-R European Cup at Valencia today. Conditions were tricky,
to say the least, but Lammert kept a cool head and managed
to take the chequered flag by over eight tenths ahead of his
nearest rival Daniel Pinera. Third went to Patric Muff, with
Kenny Noyes fourth, Gabor Rizmayer fifth and Ismail Ortega
sixth.
Dominic Lammert - 1st
It was difficult out there today because of the conditions
and the start was hard for me because I made a bad start and
was only fifth! But lap by lap, I began to push hard and after
four laps I was first. I felt comfortable in the lead and
although I had some slides (quite normal I think in these
damp conditions) everything worked out OK. I’m very
happy to win the first race and I’m sorry that the race
was red-flagged and stopped before the scheduled distance
because I was enjoying myself a lot. I’m glad I didn’t
have any problems with the oil spillage and happy to miss
that and take the win.
