“I enjoyed it! It is fine to have two races one after another. It is tough but I’m in a good shape and it is great fun!” In the second heat Alex Barros finished third. So the Brazilian rider of Team Klaffi Honda was twice on the podium today.
Only the start was not so perfect. Alex dropped back to 7th position and immediately started to fight.
He passed Muggeridge and was riding on position 6. Everything seemed to be okay – but then it was Troy Corser who had a tremendous crash. The two Yamaha riders Haga and Pitt could draw aside. Alex had no chance. He touched Corser with one of his foot-rests and ripped Troy’s leather. Alex just avoided to crash himself.
This action took a lot of time but then the Brazilian was on his way again. He took Pitt and then he pushed Haga to the limits. Alex passed the Yamaha rider in a breath taking way. Now he was on 3rd position. Alex finished 3rd. Winner was Bayliss in front of Toseland.
Alex Barros: “Things become better and better. Only when Troy Corser crashed I lost a little bit of concentration. I was afraid that I injured him. But I in this moment I could not avoid to touch him. I’m happy that Troy had good luck and that he is okay. - I had some good fights, especially with Haga. I really enjoyed it! – And it was a pleasure to work with the Klaffi Team. Thanks to the fantastic crew!”
Team Manager Klaus Klaffenböck: ”Alex did a great job today and I’m sure – you’ll see a lot more of him this year!”
