Jacko's race wrap up is online. It's an awesome write up, he gives a great insight into the finals racing

Yeah Jacko, nice writeup. One question: it sounds like you were going for the win in the semi, which made you crash, instead of settling for 2nd and a guaranteed spot in the final? Or were you worried that if you didn't pass Dalua in the semi, somebody would draft you and steal 2nd?

I was talking to Yatesy tonight and we were wondering the same thing. Why go the pass for 1st when all you need is second. Maybe it was a practice pass for Teutonia :-)

Yeah, he thought Dalua's foot brake would be much slower than his slide by the looks of it.

I think two of them are in the wrong spot. 2nd and 3rd need to switchhh.
Pretty intense.

Indeed it was the footbreak that mixed things up. I wanted to enter the corner first and rally with him down to make it through. When I couldn't get passed I allowed him to take the lead and backed off to setup. However I did not know how heavy he was going to break, right at the last minute he stepped it into overdrive and nearly came to a stop. Smart move to take a clean line but I did not Allow enough space for that. So instead of crashing right into him like some might I had to make moves. But it didn't work...

Knowing how your competitors race is a key element to success in this sport
