Thiele stamps his Authority on Stock
Once again it was the 28 year old SMI and Orcan sponsored racer Christoph Thiele from Germany that won the 4th round of stock qualifying to make it 4 wins from 4 and confirm his place as one of the favourites to take the stock title in tomorrows finals. In 2nd place it is defending Champion Bastian Hennig (below), 10 points behind the confirmed pole sitter, following a bad run in round 4. The 3rd spot now belongs to Florian Ring, making it a trio of Germans at the front of the stock field. Moving from nowhere to 4th is Jimmy Maddison, the IIC winner from the UK, who had a bad first run but now with 3 good results counting and his lowest score dropped he has moved up.
