What an appearance by Jonas Folger in the Superbike World Championship: from last place on the grid, the IDM leader on a Yamaha fought his way forward in both main races in Barcelona last weekend. In the second run, the wildcard driver almost conceded his brand colleague Loris Baz on the home straight. Followers were only 0.05 seconds short of jumping into the top ten. Bayern achieved this position in the sprint race. But with that he just missed an improvement in his starting position. For that he would have had to be at least ninth. Folger had to accept the bad starting position because a lambda probe on the engine went on strike in the Superpole decision.

Nine World Cup points as a souvenir

Only minutes before the first race the mechanics of Folgers can get Yamaha ready to go. However, it is no longer possible to adapt the electronics. The higher is Folger’s driving performance to be rated. In his first appearance in the Superbike World Championship, he earned a lot of recognition in addition to nine World Championship points on the World Championship Yamaha, which was already unfamiliar to him. “We were able to show our speed very impressively”, emphasizes the 27-year-old Bavarian. “Hopefully I was able to make a strong impression with my ideas. “

Seven IDM points left until the championship

With the momentum from his strong World Cup performance in Spain, he is now traveling to the IDM final in Hockenheim. On the 3.692 kilometer route, he still has to score seven points to win the IDM championship. Seventh place would be enough for him to secure the title in any case from two-time champion Ilya Mikhalchik on a BMW. But the Yamaha rider wants to close the IDM season as confidently as all three events on the compact calendar before: with the best training times and two race wins. In Hockenheim he meets his World Cup rival Valentin Debise (20th / 14th / fall): The Frenchman represents his compatriot Erwan Nigon on the Weber-Motos Racing Kawasaki.

Master thrillers in the 600 classes

While there is a clear favorite with Folger in the premier class, the decision in the 600 championships is still completely open. In the IDM Supersport, Luca Grunwald is just ahead with his Kawasaki. Just three points behind, Lausitzring double winner Martin Vugrinec follows on a Yamaha. Defending champion Max Enderlein, also on a Yamaha, still has the best chance of clinching his third title in a row. In the near-series IDM Superstock, Paul Frode on a Honda and late entrant Jan-Ole Jahnig on a Yamaha are still within striking distance before the two decisive races. Behind him, Tim Holtz, is Jonas Folger’s teammate from Bonovo Action by MGM Racing.

Dutch favorite among IDM youngsters

In the IDM Supersport 300, Rick Dunnik on a Yamaha could be the first Dutchman to win the junior class title. The 18-year-old starts the two final races with a 15-point lead. The talents from the neighboring country make up the second largest group of participants in the IDM Supersport 300, but so far none of them has won the championship. Dunnik cannot be sure either: the 35+ drivers in the flying classroom are always good for surprises. So far this season there have been a total of five different winners in the six races. A surprise is looming in the IDM Sidecar: After a pitch-black opening weekend in Assen for the defending champion and eight-time world champion Tim Reeves and his co-driver Kevin Rousseau, the Swiss Markus Schlosser and Marcel Fries travel as favorites to Hockenheim.
