could
not retaliate and finished
just over a second behind Vialle

tell where he was catching me.
When he got around me, I spun
out before the on-on-off, and
he was hitting that inside up at

Halfway through, Vohland found
himself shuffled back to fourth
but later regained the spot once
Hampshire crashed out of third.
Vohland's podium seems even
more impressive because his
bike is outfitted with a hand-
brake system for the rear brake
due to an injury to his foot. This
is his season-best finish and
puts him seventh in the champi
