Speedway Grand Prix of Europe in Leszno
AJ finished 13th scoring 5 points in this year's Speedway Grand Prix series opener at Leszno. In his first race Andreas had an engine failure, then crossed the finish line third three times. Eventually he got to show us some good speedway in his last heat, when the bike started riding fast enough.I'm glad the SGP series has started - says Andreas - and I am also this first tournament has finished. Firstly, because we are done with this unsuccessful performance. Secondly, because I know my bikes are fine. Paradoxically? Not really... My bikes are working well and today's poor result is only my because of our mistake. We chose wrong set-ups, they were simply too low for this track. We we changed it totally for the last heat it worked and my bikes started riding at last! Anyway, we lost today but there will be conclusions reached after this meeting and hopefully we won't make the mistakes again. I hope it will be much better tomorrow, in a league match at Czestochowa.
