Kārlis Sabulis takes the WinterCup in Dolle
The WinterCup in Dolle, Germany was won by Kārlis Sabulis. The WZ Racing rider won the first and third rounds, in the second round he finished third behind Gianluca Ecca, Tim Koch and Stefan Ekerold. In the daily rankings just north of Magdeburg, Koch came second ahead of Ecca! The Dutchman Twan van Essen was the only Lowlander to compete in this class. The KTM rider was involved in a crash in the first moto and finished 22nd.
