Danny Webb (DNF):
“Today is a day to forget. In the morning session I was hit by another rider in the first lap out of the pit lane. Because of this crash I couldn’t ride the warm up session. In the race I got off a good start but lost nearly the front in the first turn. In the Strubben my team mate Randy passed me and than Beaubier hit me from behind and the race was over. I’m really sad for the team’s home race especially because Randy and I didn’t finish the race. I hope the next race in Germany will be better than this.”
Randy Krummenacher (DNF):
“I had an ok start. I tried to connect to the second group and I was nearly there. Unfortunally I pushed to hard and crashed. This is very disappointment for me and the team because I wanted the give the team a good result for them home race. Next time in Germany I will try to get a top result.”
