Bergfeldt takes TQ honours

Tommy Bergfeldt will start on pole for the Pro Stock A-Mains of the 2009 DHI Cup here in Odense, Denmark, tomorrow after topping the third round of qualifying to record the perfect score.  The Swede was once again the class of the 108 strong international field and shaved over three seconds off his previous best time.  The Red Bull supported driver is delighted to guarantee that his Hot Bodies Cyclone TC will carry the No.1 in the three legs of tomorrow’s final.  With the job done in terms of qualifying he plans to use the final two runs today to find the limits of the car by taking a more aggressive approach and pushing much harder.

Behind Bergfeldt it was an army of SMI Motorsport drivers, this time Christoph Thiele who dominated qualifying here last year mounting the closest challenge.  A complete change of set-up on his Xray T2 009 allowed him to record his first 20 lap run and German is clearly much more upbeat having being a distant fourth in the opening two heats.  Behind Thiele it was Bastian Hennig, Matthias Lang and Thomas Mirke who all improved on their earlier times.  Completing the Top 6 after a clean run was Finland’s Henry Salmen at the controls of a Tamiya TRF416.
