Super Pole powered by Akrapovic
HAAKER responds to WALKER
The German Grand Prix kept all its promises of an exciting and intriguing
event, and the Super Pole powered by Akrapovic was no exception! With a
spectacular track, the seven riders in the Super Pole went out of their way
to ensure a great show for the 6,000 spectators at the SachsenArena!
Without Taddy BLAZUSIAK (PL - KTM) who retired from racing after a
magnificent Polish GP, Jonny WALKER (GB - KTM) set a great time in
qualifying and led the pack of seven riders lining up behind the Akrapovic
arch; Colton HAAKER (USA - Husqvarna), Alfredo GOMEZ (E - KTM), Pascal
RAUCHENECKER (AUT - Husqvarna), Mario ROMAN (E - Sherco), Joan Pau SEGURA (E
- Gas Gas) and Kornel NEMETH (H - KTM).
Untouchable throughout the evening, the 2016 World Champion HAAKER
responded perfectly to his rival WALKER with a scratch time of 41''096! He
therefore pocketed the three extra championship points awarded to the Super
Pole winner, ahead of the two factory KTM riders, WALKER (41''88), and
Alfredo GOMEZ (43''206)...
With this victory for HAAKER, he and WALKER now find themselves with
equal points (5 points each) ahead of the Grand Prix of the Basque
Country... join us on the 4th of March at the Bilbao Exhibition Center to
find out which of these two superstars will take the lead before the final
in Albi (France) on March 18!
Provisional Classification: 1. Jonny WALKER 5 pts; 1. Colton
HAAKER 5pts; 3. Taddy BLAZUSIAK (1pts); 3. Alfredo GOMEZ 1pts…
