After that I continued with rational pace and I didn&#8217;t spend my strength where I didn&#8217;t had to. I overtook only at place where I had enough space. I knew that the race is going to be long and enough time for everything, and of course I also had to made sure for proper hydration.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>I gave even more in the pre-last lap, I almost took a chance that I could stay without power in the last lap. But the strategy worked and I secured 7th place. I wanted even more in the last lap and did a mistake with acceleration on the loose gravel. I lost traction and fell down, but there was no harm in that.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>I&#8217;m happy with my result, I did the best I could. Overall I have a great weekend behind me \u2013 we had nice weather, great track and amazing atmosphere on the race.
