Mixed feelings for FÜSPORT - RT Motorsports by SKM - Kawasaki after eventful weekend at Schleizer Dreieck

The IDM Supersport 300 race weekend at the Schleizer Dreieck is always one of the highlights of the year, but for FÜSPORT - RT Motorsports by SKM - Kawasaki it unfortunately did not turn out as hoped this year.

Inigo Iglesias started the weekend promisingly with a third-place finish in the first race after qualifying second. Nothing to worry about and important points for the championship, in which he held a 22-point lead after Race 1. But Race 2 ended with a big disappointment... What should have been a fantastic finish, with almost certainly another podium finish, ended in the gravel trap after an incomprehensible action by another rider. That other rider was thereby disqualified, but that did not diminish the important point loss for Inigo. He is now three points behind the leader in the standings.

Fortunately, Troy Alberto's success made up for a lot. He had a strong weekend and finished in a great sixth place in Race 1 and a fantastic fourth place in the eventful Race 2. With this, Troy once again shows that he has the speed for top rankings and after this success he is determined to maintain this feeling during the upcoming WorldSSP300 weekend at Most. Max Zachmann also rode very strongly, finishing 11th in Race 1 and even seventh in Race 2, allowing him to go home with a load of points.

Petr Svoboda had to skip the weekend due to illness but is fortunately fit again for his WorldSSP300 home race at Most.

Team manager Rob Vennegoor:

'Also this is racing, but to be honest it's very hard to accept because we lost an incredible number of important points in the title fight. Saturday night everything looked so promising, but unfortunately things can change quickly... Fortunately nothing is lost yet, because at the end of the day Inigo's points gap to the leader is still small. And fortunately, Troy and Max made up for a lot by racing two rock-solid races. This shows that as a team we are incredibly strong and getting even stronger and that's great to see as a team manager. On to Most!’
