Gedinne

[seb84]

Last weekend saw the last rounds fo the Belgian championship @ Gedinne.

There were a lot of sidecars on this amazing and wonderful track. They worked a lot this year for the safety. At the Friday's briefing, the oragnizors reminded us that it was a road race and that the track is quite dangerous ; as it wasn't world championship round, they asked us to ride safely.

Saturday morning, we had practice. For the 1st time of my life, I was out on a classic outfit with front exit. My driver was Brian Toombs and we were riding on a BMW 750cc. I just enjoyed the practice so much. It was great. We finished 8th/24th. Bill Hodgkins/Bert Vloemans were 2nd, Eddy Toombs/Bob Dowty 6th, Juan/Tim Dixon 20th.

In the afternoon, we had the 1st race of the weekend. It was a 6 laps race. Unfortunately, we haven't been far away in the race as after some corners, we hit the strawballs in the 2nd left bend uphill after the hairpin. Brian has got a broken collar bone and 5 broken rips. The bike (except a little the ferring) and myself weren't damaged. It was the end iof the weekend for us. Bill ran out of fuel , Eddy had mechanical problems and Juan didn't finish.

Vincent & Phil Biggs finished 2nd in the P3 and Matthew Kingsmill/Alun Bedford 3rd.

The Komnik team had a bad weekend with plenty of problems.

Same schedule for Sunday :
