Onboard video race 1 Mark:
NK PROCUP 600, race 2:
3rd- Luc van Gerven.
Despite a restart, “The Bomb” was cool and fast as usual. He rode to a deserved 3rd place! But after the restart the race ended again by red flag, so there will be not be given any points to any rider due to the fact the race was not long enough. “Fastmarky” was hit unfortunately in the first round by another rider and crashed next to the track in the grass and layed down for quite a while. After medical research, luckily all seemed ok and he could leave the medical center with only a thick ankle. Later that night, after an examination in the hospital in the Netherlands, fortunately the ankle turned out not to be broken.
Onboard video start race 2 Mark:
NK PROCUP 1000, race 1:

Thorsten did not start the second race.
After a tremendously warm and exciting weekend in many areas, still a good result for Docshop Racing. On the 25th, 26th and 27th of August we are in Oschersleben again for round 9 and 10!
