S1GP Fast Race
At the start of the Fast Race Marc Reiner Schmidt (Team 11) did not miss a shot and took first place followed by Steve Bonnal (TSV Racing Factory Team TM Corse), who was overtaken as the red lights blinked off and had to feel happy with second place. Lukas Hollbacher (Schruf Racing) made a mistake in the second lap and slipped, losing several positions. Jonas Nedved (Honda) took third place followed by Julen Avila Cortes (KTM Mtr), who overtook the Czech rider after some laps and moved to third place.
The two top riders opened a gap behind them. Steve Bonnal tried to find the right moment to overtake Marc Reiner Schmidt, who was not in perfect shape because of a problem with his foot, but the rider – thanks to his experience – did not give a chance to the French rival to overtake him. Lukas Hollbacher tried to make up ground but crashed again, dropping to tenth place. Elia Sammartin, third, was affected by a mechanical problem which forced him to retire. In the Rookie Cup, Jan Ulman was the author of another excellent performance and qualified first, in his category, and fifth overall.
