Latvian SuperMoto championship race, June 04.2011.



This Saturday in Lithuania, Kaunas, 3rd round of Latvian, Lithuanian and Baltic SuperMoto championships took place. All fastest Baltic riders were on starting grid.

Miks commented: „It was 3rd race of the season and at last I was able to turn on my „race thinking”. It meant that I tried to squeeze maximum out of street legal Husqvarna. Although, this track was not suitable for this bike – you could feel the disadvantage in long straightaways. In qualification I showed 6th fastest time, so I had to start from 2nd row. Start was good – I managed to pass some riders for 3rd place. But there was some mistake, so we had to restart. Second time was not so good – 6th place. But I felt ok and passed two guys. Started to push for 3rd, but decided to save bike and backed down a little bit. Unfortunatley, on last lap I made a mistake because of lapped rider, and two riders got past me. For second race I planned better finish. But in third turn I came together with some rider and my bike stalled. I couldn’t start it for some time, so I was way back. Tried as hard as I could, but managed to finish again in 6th position for 6th overall. I am not too happy about result, but it is good motivation for next race. Huge thanks to Atis Pārums, Dzintars Baltais and fast recovery to Pauls Timrots!”
