PRESS RELEASE – Race – GP Valencia 2010

INTERWETTEN Honda 125 TEAM – Best race of the season for Schrötter

The last race of the season, the Grand Prix of Valencia, was a successful race for Marcel Schrötter and the Interwetten Honda 125 Team. Schrötter rode a strong race, in which he had fight hard for his position of a 12th place and he gained some more important championship points. What the future will hold for Schrötter is not sure yet and he hopes he will get a good option for the coming year over the winter break. Sepp Schlögl, the chief mechanic of the team, retired today after 40 active years from racing. The race was a successful finish for the whole team.

Marcel Schrötter, 12 - 41'28.647:
 “This was a good end to the season and the weekend, which started difficult. I am glad it ended that way. I could earn some more last points in the championship and was meeting my expectations of a 12th place today. I am happy about that. I was close to eleventh place, but on the straight I have no chance and the gap I could only catch up again with my braking, which I did. But in general I am really happy with the last race of the season.”

Sepp Schlögl, Chief mechanic:
This was Marcel’s strongest race this season. I am really happy that he did it so well today. I closed my active career in racing today and I am happy for this end of the season. We expected a lot from Marcel this year and it was not an easy year for him and that he was able to have such a strong race really makes me happy.”

Terrell Thien, Team Manager:
“Marcel did a good job today, he had a strong weekend and the 12th place is a good result to end the season with. I am glad he could finish the season in style.”
