Dramatic Swiss GP for Micha-Boy De Waal
Micha-Boy De Waal and Vamo Honda left the Swiss Frauenfeld disappointed after a difficult race. The popular Swiss Grand Prix was won by the Frenchman Benoit Paturel.
Since he joined the Belgian Vamo-Honda team in Valkenswaard Micha-Boy De Waal has commanded respect from insiders. De Waal works hard, never gives up and never complains. In Switzerland, the 22-year-old driver from Veen did not have luck on his side.
Micha had difficulty finding his way on the hard track during the timed training. As a result, he did not get further than the 27th fastest time. The qualifying race was also difficult. De Waal recovered after a bad start. However, due to a mechanical defect he disappeared from the match. Micha had to go to the starting gate as 35th.
Although he was in a bad way, he fought No Fear Energy Drink rider moves forward patiently. When he was driving around in position 19, bad luck struck again. End of story and De Waal had to switch to the spare bike for the second round. From the back of the field he was able to reach 24th place. Micha never found the right feeling with the second bike and so he no longer reached the level of the first series.
This weekend the number 8 of the last one will take over Dutch Masters of Motocross MX1 to Uddevalla in Sweden where the 16th round of the Motocross World Championship will be held. The free training will take place there at 11:30 am, on Sunday the first heat will be held at 13:15 pm.
Micha-Boy De Waal: “This was a very tough match on every level. We had a lot of technical problems and of course it's a shame if you drop out even when things are going well like in the first race! We cannot change that now, no matter how disappointing it is. I'm looking forward to riding in Sweden again this weekend.”
