BERND HIEMER GOT TWO BACK TO BACK WINS IN THE HOME GP OF KTM
26 June 2006 - KTM-Sportmotorcycles AG

Things did not change much for Hiemer compared to last year. He got two back to back wins in the home GP of KTM but it was not so smooth for the young German rider.

“The first race was perfect but I am not so happy about the second one; I do not know why but I lost grip in the rear, so I could not make the same laptimes. I was faster in the first moto” explained winner Hiemer.

Delepine and Iddon tried their hardest to put the heat on him and snatch the win: the Belgian almost made it in the second moto; he was leading but he crashed trying to pass a lapped rider and ended the challenge in fourth. He was still on the podium though, in third place.

Iddon was second overall after having raced his hardest in both challenges. He had a great start in race 1 then he dropped to third, keeping the place until the chequered flag. In the second moto he moved past Delepine and got close to the leader Hiemer in the first lap; the battle seemed to be between the two youngsters only but Delepine joined and passed them towards the end of the race. Unfortunately he crashed when he tried to overtake a lapped rider and handed the win to Hiemer. Iddon tried his very best in the last two laps and made to arrive right behind the German, but not ahead of him.

In the Championship it is still Hiemer leading, with Iddon and Delepine moving ahead of Lazzarini in second and third place. The Italian broke the chain in the first S1 moto while he got third in the second one.
