Women`s Speedway Gold Trophy

[Bavarian]

There is a chance for You in the UK to get to see one of our best female riders, Nepalese-German Patricia 'Paddy' Erhart in the SGP2 qualifying round in Glasgow on Saturday, May 24.

Here she is pictured along with her Olching team mates Martin Smolinski (captain), Seychellian-German Mario Häusl, and the junior 250cc rider Carlos Gennerich, in yesterday's Bundesliga 2 meeting at Teterow.  

This is what she afterwards wrote (in english) on facebook: 

P2 in Teterow.

Great team spirit, happy to be a part of it .

For me though, it was a day to forget. After my fall in training, it went downhill from there. I did not trust enough to go fast or take over. I had that same problem in the last years after my bad crashes, so it was nothing new, but I hoped to have left this issue behind. Also my clutch didn’t cooperate, I got two warnings because in the green light phase my bike pulled me near the tapes. In consequence I was forced to start 15 meters behind in third heat. It was disappointing, but bad days happen. Now I only look forward to my next race. I will be participating in Scotland for the SGP2 Quali in about two weeks.
