Sam Ermolenko Farewell Meeting
Andreas was 8th in Sam Ermolenko Farewell Meeting which took place today in Wolverhampton.
It was very nice to see Sam again and take part in his farewell meeting. I felt really privileged when he invited me to this tournament. Unfortunately I didn't manage to score well because of the engine which is brand new and as it turned out - far too strong for such a short track. Just too much power. I think it will be better for tracks like Bydgoszcz. Besides, the track was wet and slippery today. It was snowing and I've frozen! I hadn't expected a winter weather any more!
I reached the semifinal and then the engine started failing. There was no point in continuing so I throttled down and left the track. Couldn't do anything... Shame.
Tomorrow Andreas is riding in a tournament at Belle Vue. Fingers crossed!
