First GP podium of 2008 for Tanel Leok
07 July 2008
Kawasaki Racing Team’s Tanel Leok takes his first GP podium of 2008 at Teutschental in Germany while teammate Manuel Priem secures eighth overall with another solid ride.
The German Grand Prix is always something of an epic race as the fast but technical Teutschental circuit always offers up some of the best racing in the championship season. The 2008 edition was no different and with the Teutschental circuit rougher than ever and the summer sun raising temperatures to around 26 degrees Celsius this event was a brutal scorcher that sorted the men from the boys.
