MotoGP rd.7 GRAN PREMI APEROL DE CATALUNYA /Thomas Luthi again in second on podium!

Today the race started under the clear sky, atmosphere was 32C and track temp was 46C.

Both 2 front row MD600s started the race good and Luthi took the hole shot and Elias was second to go through the turn 1.  There were a crash at the turn1 behind them and quite number of riders were out.

Fortunately all MD600 riders avoided the crash and Luthi and Elias completed the lap1 in 1st and 2nd.

A few riders past them as the race progresses.  Luthi was in a battle for 2nd and Elias was for 5th.

A ride-through penalty was given to the leader and the rider dropped off at lap7.

Luthi and Elias battled all the way through and Luthi finished in 2nd, consecutive podium finish.  Elias finished in 5th, kept his championship lead, and now Luthi came to the 2nd position on the ranking.

As a constructor, MORIWAKI is keeping the top position on the championship, too.

Next round will be in Germany in 2 weeks.  Thank you for your support to all MD600 riders in the championship.
