FLAT TRACK BARCELONA SUPERPRESTIGIO INDOOR SHORT TRACK DECEMBER 12, 2015 PALAU SANT JORDI STADIUM / BARCELONA, SPAIN P186 Europeans. Baker got the job done in the Superfinal, capi- talizing on a mistake by Marc Márquez at the start, but Mees' tough passage through the Open category left him with a poor starting position. Forced to fight his way forward on a fast track where passing was hard, Mees could only manage the final podium spot, making Márquez the Spanish filling in an American sandwich. The bar had been raised so high that even in the Open category, consisting of the cream of European dirt track and other off-road disciplines, getting straight through to the Superfinal, where Baker and Mees faced the top road rac- ers, was not easy. In the first Open final, Mees had finished third, and Baker fourth. (Right) Baker leading Márquez. The Bullet's victory makes him the first two- time winner of what is fast becoming the premier dirt track race in the world.
