Winterberg is always a place I like to come to, enthousiastic crowds and good racing action guaranteed.

Strong winds, heavy rain and even snow in May gave us hard times. I had a decent qualifier and came in 7th place, which left all opportunities open for the upcoming race.

On race day I was ready, physically and mentally so I managed to get through the heats without any trouble till semi finals. I didn’t get the snap I wanted and was kind of always in the wrong place, so I lost this one. Then again, my small final was very good, I led the field and took 5th place at the end, which is a great starter to the Pro Tour so far.
