Andrea Adamo #80: “Another solid weekend at Teutschenthal with a P7 in Race 1 and a P6 in Race 2. Once again I finished 7^th Overall. I will now have two weeks of the stop before flying to Indonesia. I will try to regain my shape to be as always at the 100% of my condition.”

Federico Tuani #3: “Little to say for me…. disastrous weekend. "
 
Luca Ruffini # 669: “On Saturday in free practice I immediately had a good feeling with the track. In qualifying, I did some good laps but for a few too many mistakes I finished 39th. In the first heat, I started from the last gate and sprinted around 27th position. I 'fought' the whole heat and got up to 17th place but towards the last three laps, I dropped the pace a bit and finished 20th. In the second heat, I always sprinted around 25th position and when I was 22nd I made a crash that made me go back a dozen places, finishing 31st. Too bad about the crash in race 2 because there were times and a few positions ahead I would have done it. Now we know we can do better !! See you in Belgium."
