FIM-Europe Pro Stock Bike

The PSB title chase went to Fredrik Fredlund after he won his opening round of eliminations, but teenager Elvira Karlsson grabbed all of the headlines thanks to a low qualifying 7.029, the event win over Fredlund and, in doing so, cracking the six second barrier for the first time in Europe with a 6.998/185.88 (to Fredlund’s 7.051/185.08) and taking the ET record to go with second place in the points. The Teisab/Veidec backed rider will be joined in the PSB ranks next season by her younger sister Elsa. Together the Karlssons will be a major threat in 2014.

FIM-Europe Super Street Bike Cup


Although not a contender in the Cup points (that went to Garry Bowe), Steve Venables took the Euro Finals trophy (for the second year in a row) over Ven Racing teammate Graham Balchin (for the second year in a row) in a 7.254/197.26 to a 7.318/197.08 match-up. The pair had also qualified in one (7.227/200.63) and two (7.292/202.43) spots and were the only members of the eighteen entries to run in the seven twenties and over 200mph during the course of the event.
