Taking on the world’s best at round 2, held in Oschersleben Germany, Alex and the Phase One Yamaha team were hopeful of a strong result. After the disappointment of not scoring any points in the first round of the World championships, due to a mechanical failure on the bike, the Phase One Yamaha team was eager to redeem themselves and set their Championship hopes alive. After the first practice sessions in Germany, they were one of the leading teams, setting some strong lap times with their team line up of brothers, Alex and Damian Cudlin, alongside Majorcan, Pedro Vallcaneras. After a superb super pole lap from Damian, Phase One lined up on the grid in 5th position, with Damian taking the honour of starting duties for the Oschersleben 8 Hour race. At 2pm the national flag was raised and 38 starters set off at a perilous pace, all trying to achieve the top spot in the field, but it was Phase One Yamaha with Damian aboard, who quickly jumped to the lead and mounted a strong attack on its rivals. |
