Date:12/13 June 1999
Event: World 500cc Motocross Championships - Round 6
Venue: Teutschental, Germany
Weather Conditions: Extremely Hot and Sunny
Track Conditions: Fast
Race one: I came out of the corner in around 15th spot and over the next couple of laps I moved up to 4th place. I was fighting to catch Bartolini in 3rd when over a table top jump the steering head bearing lost movement and the steering locked. I landed ok but slowed losing places to slip to 11th. Afterwards it felt like something was broken inside and it felt really loose. I kept going round at 3/4 pace and finished in 8th position.
Race two: I knew before the race in the Parc Farme that there was a problem with the adjustment of the throttle. I had an ok start and moved up to around 7th but was fighting with the throttle the whole time. I tried as hard as I physically could to keep the speed going but it became harder and harder and in the end I couldn\'t keep it up and slipped back to finish in 10th position.
Comments:Unfortunately another extremely frustrating and annoying day.
