The international Mefo Sport flat track riders were given a very warm welcome by MSC Ohmtal during the traditional quad races in Homberg (Ohm), Germany.
Under pleasant summer conditions, several hundred spectators were treated to very hot flat track racing. Nearly the entire rider field was mounted on traditionally framed, American dirt trackers, which drew many spectators to the open paddocks.
The interesting track developed more grip with each heat and the coolest headed riders found their way to the front of the field.
It were Richard ‘Magic’ Mason and Jan-Willem Jansen who seemed best equipped to master the track and both riders found themselves on pole position for the grand final, joined by Marco Belli and Mick Jansen on the front row. But on Lap two, Mason lost the front and caused a restart, but with a dash of his magic he put the fifteen laps to good use, securing third place and another podium finish on the last lap, just behind Marco Belli.
It was Jan-Willem Jansen who reigned supreme and proved to be uncatchable throughout, grinding half his foot peg off because of his extreme lean angle in the turns! This victory makes him the third winner in four rounds of European flat track racing. Richard Mason and Marco Belli are now tied in first place with another five rounds to go. Jan-Willem Jansen moved into third spot.
New comer Massimio Bruni is improving every race and German rider Stefan Gatzenmeier was beating some of the regular front runners. Unfortunately Gatzenmeier suffered a puncture during the 15 lap grand final but still managed 6th place.
Team Co-Built also made the long journey from England and enjoyed European flat track racing!
A special mention goes to Jarno Möri from Switzerland who put in a great ride on his freshly built J&M Yamaha flat tracker. Stunning bike, great rider!
