A fantastic final race from Matze.He was third and came past Stange and then had a tough battle with Hefenbrock for the title,but in the end Hefe made a mistake and Matze won the championship for the second time. Hefe had a great battle earlier with Katt only for the race to be stopped because Dilger fell.

Oh and the track record held by A.Dryml was beaten twice today.Once by Max Dilger in the morning qualifying races for the main final meeting and then by Hefenbrock in heat 2 of the main meeting.

Good to see Toby Kroner amongst the points.

Think he had the most fans there as well.30 or so by the third bend with a big flag and making lots of noise

Looks like even the Germans have more talent coming through than Britain.

Yes Shortoi.

There were 8 seeded riders and 8 heats in the morning for other riders to qualify.Unfortunately Henning looped at the start in his last chance heat and missed going into the main meeting.
