GERMAN GRAND PRIXDavid Rowe Sunday, May 06, 2001 09:28 GMT
It wasnt really a good night for the brits.Mark loram crashed out after only his second ride,chris louis went early and the only brit that was left was premier league carl stonhewer.Stoney had to get 1st or 2nd to get to the semis and he was in 2nd when he hit one of many of the ruts on the corner which sent him crashing to the deck.Jason crump,billy hamill and greg hancock all went surprisingly early too.Peter karlsson won the consolation final and all the riders were physched up for the final.It consisted of rickardsson,gollob,n.pedersen and henka gustaffson.The tapes went up and nicki pedersen was leading with goolob just behind and tony in third.On the 2nd lap tony passed gollob and was heading for pedersen when he hit the same rut as stoney which sent him into the leader,nicki pedersen.Both riders bounced up but nicki pedersen was furious as he was leading and the ref excluded rickardsson and called for a re-run.This time goolob got the jump and was followed by nicki pedersen who was soon passed gustaffson.Gollob cruised round but on he final bend went to sleep and only beat henka by a wheels length.Unlucky all the brits!!
