With a good place from the pre-runs, I entered the quarter-finals in a strong field of the under 11 racers. I was cheery, because I made it up the semi-finals,but there I had to finish under the first four.

A weak point of mine is the “Gatestart” I moved down to the 5th place, but surely I tried to catch up again, with succes I reached the 4th place, but...a few meters before the finish line, my bike started to trumble and I crashed. Big, no huge crodile tears keot running from my face, no final for me….L

Well, like everone says, you only learn it, by making mistakes, and for the matter of fact, I´m only ten years old, so I have the chance ride some more races.

Now I´m looking forwar to the European Championships inFrederica, DK and we wish us a little bit more luck for that weekend.

You`ll find some more pictures on the hompage of www.rg-hamburg.de and another bulletin.
