GERSTEITEN, GERMANY, JUNE 13
third-moto victory gave Suzuki's
Yves Demaria the overall win at the
German 125cc GP on the grassland
track of Gerstetten. The Frenchman tied
Holland's Dave Strijbos for overall points
on the day, but by winning the tie-breaking third moto, Demaria was declared the
overall winner.
The 46 points earned by the French
Suzuki rider moved him up to third in
the championship series point standings
with just four rounds remaining in the
series, and he thereby joins Strijbos in
putting intense pressure on series leader
Pedro Tragter.
.
The Dutch Suzuki rider - Tragter - had
a terrible day, scoring just 13 points and
seeing his onee-comfortable lead cut to
just 23 points.
On home ground Suzuki rider Peter
Beirer was, once again, impressive. He
looked to be on his way to his secondsuccessive GP win after two runner-up
placings, but a first-lap retirement in race
three dropped him to fifth on the day,
and he also lost third place in the standings. The 20-year-old now trails Tragter
by a 54 points.
Frenchman Mikael Pichon and
Dutchman Remy Van Rees each hurt
their chances for the championship title.
They both were sidelined once, while a
rejuvenated Joakim Karlsson remains
seventh in the championship chase,
despite ending the day on the podium in
third place.
Each race was a close-fought affair on
a track which offered little technical difficulties; the largest winning margin was
that of Karlsson in race one, when he beat
Beirer to the checkered flag by five seconds.
