Stuttgart SX Report and Results

November 10, 2007 9:18am

At the 25th Edition of the Stuttgart Supercross, in the South of Germany, more than 10 riders made their way from the United States. The field showed many new faces and Bryan Johnson and Jeff Northrop quickly found their lines on this unfamiliar track. Right after practice two riders showed their potential to win. On one side it was the winner of last year, Jason Thomas, and the Portuguese rider Joaquim Rodrigues. Five U.S. Boys reached the final, but the holeshot went to the Portuguese rider Joaquim Rodriguez who led for the first few laps, followed by the French Rodrig Thain and Florent Richier. While Jason Thomas found himself fighting through the pack, Rodrigues crashed and gave the lead to Richier, who immediately saw his chance to win and never opened any possibility to Jason Thomas, who had closed up into second position. The third place in this first evening's final went to the German Daniel Siegl, who rode the only 2-stroke bike in the field. "I'm happy for this second position, but I came here to win and I hope to do better tomorrow," said Jason Thomas after the race. Unfortunately, American Ryan Abrigo broke his collarbone in free practice.
