Eliminations in Super Street Bike were exciting and full of surprises. Alex Hope was one of the favourites, but pulled a red light in the first round and his race was over. Other favourites like Nils-Ola Andersson, Anders Blanck and Bj\u00f6rn Fristr\u00f6m ran into problems and were eliminated before the semi-finals. Richard Stubbins had no problems and after defeating Mogens Lund in the semi-final, advanced to the final. The same did Henri Kolehmainen after defeating Jonas Lundberg. Stubbins was the clear favourite to win the final, but as his motor\u00a0failed to start, Kolehmainen had a bye run in the final and took the win.<\/p>\n

Bad luck for the riders in Super Comp Bike and Super Gas Bike. Short before their finals it started to rain and the race director had to cancel the finals. In Super Comp Bike the final would have been contested between Anders Gerdtsson and Bianca Nilsson, while in Super Gas Bike number one qualifier Janne Koskinen had to face Magnus Pollack.<\/p>\n
