Il dottore strikes again!!!.
Last weekend in Brandenburg (GER) was the second place enough for Alex to win the European Championship
with 72 points in front of Marian Jung (SVK) with 64 points and Paul Jillings (GB) with 56 points.
With this victory he made the triple perfect: World Champion, European Champion and Italian Champion 2008.
The qualifying saturday was a thriller. At the end Marian Jung had the pole position in front of Alex.
Also the first heat was won by Jung, Alex was second. Then the shock: During his usual check up of the boat after
the first heat our mechanik Leo saw that the string of the steering wheel was almost broken. The team worked
until late evening to change the string. In the free practice sunday morning Alex wanted to make some testing laps
but the engine refuse to start. Again and again Leo and Max tried to start the engine but there was no chance until
two minutes before the end of the free practice. Alex made one lap and prepared to make another full gas lap
when the engine abruptly stoped... and only 30 min until the next start. Leo and Max let their tools fly and prepared
the engine for the start of the second heat. What a relief when the three cylinder roared again. The start of the second
heat was won by Jung again but Alex was close behind when Jung suddenly slowed down and stopped two laps later.
Alex won the second heat with a big gap in front of all following. The third heat was won by Jung again. Alex engine
broke down in the fourth lap. Again worked Leo and Max to prepare the boat for the last heat. The last heat was
an easy win for Jung when Alex only cared to bring his second place safely over the finish line. After Alex saw
the checkered flag the joy of the team was undescribable. He and Max made a little lap with the italian flag in front
of the cheering spectators and after they came back to the jetty this time it was Wenke who made sure that he did
not miss his champions bath.
After the prizegiving ceremony we immediately start back to Italy for bringing the boat into the container for
it´s journey to America.
It was the most successful year for the C&B Team so far and we all are more than happy for our drivers Alex, Max and Diego.
Guys you are the best!!!
America we´re coming!!!
