Dutch rider Bertus Folkertsma with EBR on the rostrum (second) again in Dutch Twin Cup class
Today - 23 may - Bertus Folkertsma rode a consistent race in the Dutch Supercup 1000 class. Development of the machine is steadily progressing. There's a long way to go, but laptimes are dropping bit by bit.
In the integrated Twin Cup he finished second.

Next race: may 31, International Ducati Club Races, at Assen. Let's see what we can do then. At least beat a few ducs. ;-)
The team lost a tyre gamble at Assen last sunday. Starting from 4th on the grid, Bertus managed to come out of the first turn in front of the rest of the field, which was the plan. We chose slicks as we expected the small raindrops not to increase. Well, it did. Soon as the race started, the rain came down. After a few laps Bertus had to come in. Tyre switching was too late (race was already shortened). Well, that's racing. Upcoming saturday 6 June new opportunities.
