Crowd: 39,000 (3-day). Weather: Damp, overcast, 16 C. Sunday 15th April XAVI TAKES SIXTH IN A TWO-PARTER IN VALENCIA. Team Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra rider Xavi Simeon crashed six laps into the scheduled 13-lap race at Valencia today, but was lucky because the race was red-flagged due to a fallen bike in the middle of the track. Xavi got back on board his bike and rode back to the pits and was able to start the second race. He then put in a fiery performance in the five-lap second part to end sixth overall. Aussie Mark Aitchison (Suzuki) took the victory, when the times of both races were aggregated. He had finished second in the first race and his performance in race two was enough to ensure the win, albeit by just over half a second. Second in the overall times was Michele Pirro (Yamaha), with Nicolo Canepa (Ducati) third. XAVI – 6th I guess I was a bit lucky today – when the race was stopped and that meant I had the chance to start again. I began the first part with tyres for rain, but the track started to dry up. Normally, it takes a long time for this track to become dry, so it was a bit of a surprise when it happened so soon. Two laps later, I had to go into the pits because it was becoming impossible to stay on those tyres. I came back out of the pits with a fresh tyre, more suited to dry conditions, and four or so corners later, I found a damp patch on the track and crashed! I got back on the bike and fortunately was able to take part in the restart. I wish the second part had been longer then just five laps, because I was catching the leaders up and I’m sure I could have finished higher up, maybe even on the podium!

Conditions were tricky, to say the least, but Lammert kept a cool head and managed to take the chequered flag by over eight tenths ahead of his nearest rival Daniel Pinera. Third went to Patric Muff, with Kenny Noyes fourth, Gabor Rizmayer fifth and Ismail Ortega sixth. Dominic Lammert – 1st It was difficult out there today because of the conditions and the start was hard for me because I made a bad start and was only fifth! But lap by lap, I began to push hard and after four laps I was first. I felt comfortable in the lead and although I had some slides (quite normal I think in these damp conditions) everything worked out OK. I’m very happy to win the first race and I’m sorry that the race was red-flagged and stopped before the scheduled distance because I was enjoying myself a lot. I’m glad I didn’t have any problems with the oil spillage and happy to miss that and take the win.
