I had a comfortable gap to Fulvio which I was able to manage over the last few laps as he was fighting with this other guy.
But then Tom came into play, for whom I opened all the barn doors for almost half a lap expecting he will pass quickly and and I can go on,
but he didn't (couldn't) use the opportunities until I was completely out of rhythm and hit the grass...
I hadn't seen the action Fulvio had commited out of the hairpin, so was wondering what was going on. I had seen blue flags and had to let Tom by...
What really p..d me were the comments after the race from people not understanding what had happened.
I waited to comment until I had talked to Tom and understood how it went.
Axel I understand that Germans don't like Italians, it's a long story and I can't blame you
, but please watch our 40 and 41 laps while Tom was reaching us to lap and tell me what I did wrong. I hadn' understand well Tom's comment, but I think Tom had mistaken our names. I was a spectator behind you and Tom on the last turn and even Dimi catched us in the meanwhile.
I aplogize for my comment after the race that was caused by your rejoin after you hitted grass and we were side by side before the fast kink. I had to move right to avoid you but you came on me cutting the track and I spun badly loosing two spots on Dimi and Phil.
I ask apologize to Phil for my bad rejoin that collected him, but he could restart ahead of me and we had again a nice battle after the previous battle till he had spun many laps before.
At the end of the race I was without force in my seventh decade
