I had some problems to find a rhytm with my FZ5. Last week it looked quite good, times were ok - but yesterday ...
First laps were nice close racing - started on 5th I could overtake Seany and Benman after a few laps and tried to get on Deetz. Closing the gap to a small distance but around lap 9 there was one pile of tyres in chicane 1 and I couldn't avoid them. No damage, but I was thrown into other tyres and lost some seconds.
As the race went on I got nervous about my tyres - allways watching them, because they were getting really thin.
I had a small hope to get Deetz with his pit stop, as I hoped he would change tyres. I could pass him as he went to pit - but on that lap I was distracted from changing my pit-strategy and made some off road experience
After that it got worse - braking behavior was strange, perhaps my tyres were to thin.
At the end I was lucky to finish that race without a blown up tyre.
Congrats to Venca for his clear victory and to all others who reached the finishline - was a tough combo.
