Stuttgart SX Night 2 Race Report

November 11, 2007, 10:07am

Like the year before, Saturday night was Jason Thomas' night. After winning his semi, Jason was ready to get the win. Even though Joe Oehlhof got the holeshot, Jason Thomas passed him quickly and led the race to the end. Oehlhof was passed by the French rider Rodrig Thain, but then had a great battle with Cole Siebler for third position. Siebler tried to attack on every spot of the track, but unfortunately was not able to secure the third position, which was finally taken by Oehlhof. Florent Richier, winner of Friday night, had some bad luck on Saturday. First he crashed in his semi race and had to go to the Last Chance Qualifier, which he won. Then in the final he went into the starting gate and picked up the race in last position. Finally he ended up being in fifth position. Good races again for the Americans Northrop, Johnson and Saylor. The Portuguese rider, Joaquim Rodrigues, did not make it to the final on Saturday, as he took out Daniel Siegl in their LCQ and both riders went down.

The SX2 class saw a new face on the top of the podium. It was American Tyler Keefe who took the win in front of the Czech Filip Neugebauer and the Dutch Rinus van de Ven. Kyle Tobin, who was second the night before, crashed and had to abandon.
