S1GP FastRace:
Marc Reiner Schmidt (Team 11) was the author of a perfect start and moved to the front in the first corner. From the beginning, the German rider’s race pace was unbeatable and thanks to a smooth riding style he was able to open a gap over rivals and rule the 15 laps of the Fast Race.
Behind Schmidt riders battled it out for second place. Lukas Hollbacher (Schruf Racing) did not make the best out of the pole position and was immediately overtaken by Julen Avila Cortes (KTM MTR). The Austrian rider tried to overtake his rival each lap without making it because Avila Cortes did a great job and never gave him a chance.
