Bauer sweeps Oschersleben

From Team Suzuki

Andreas Meklau raced to two fourth places at the weekend's International German Superbike Championships (IDM) second round at Oschersleben and stands third in the series.

But it was Belgian Werner Daemen who was the top Suzuki team member to cross the finish line, finishing third in both races.

Meklau was fourth in each heat and for the first time this season, Dominic Lammert was also on the starting grid. The 20-year-old recently underwent an operation on his meniscus, and took seventh and sixth place.

Both heats at the Motorsport Arena were won by Martin Bauer (Honda), followed by Jorg Teuchert (Yamaha).

"I'm disappointed with the result," Meklau said. "Martin Bauer is riding in another league at the moment. That shows that we've got a lot of work ahead of us. The only highlight for me was the last three rounds in the first heat. I was able to catch up with Werner Daemen and Kai Borre Andersen (MV Agusta). Andersen then wanted to overtake Daemen but missed the racing line in a wide arc. I immediately took advantage of this opportunity, dived into the gap, and took the place away from Andersen."
