Janker wins the Winter Cup in OK

Lorenzo Travisanutto (KR / Parilla) was only 5th on the first lap of the Winter Cup OK Final, while Hannes Janker (KR / Parilla) took the lead. But Nicklas Nielsen (Tony Kart / Vortex) took the lead on the next lap while Travisanutto returned to 3rd position. David Vidales (Tony Kart / Vortex) was 4th in front of Jonny Edgar (Exprit / TM) and Pedro Hiltbrand (CRG / TM). Ugo Gazil (KR / Parilla) gained several places in 12th position and Vincent Fraïsse (Sodi / TM) was very strong in 20th place. Edgar lost ground before mid-race, then Travisanutto dropped to 8th while Marius Zug (KR / Parilla) took 3rd place ahead of Oliver Hodgson (Birel ART / Parilla).

The top two had then distanced their opponents by more than 6”, with Janker close to Nielsen. Very fast, Hiltbrand recovered 3rd position in front of Hodgson and Vidales. Janker attacked Nielsen on the 15th of 22 laps. Joyner retired, and Fraïsse lost three places in 16th place. Janker opened the gap at a hellish pace and was almost 4” ahead of Nielsen. Hiltbrand finished 3rd a second later, Hodgson 4th and Travisanutto 5th with the fastest time. Gazil lost some places, but finished 14th nevertheless as the top Frenchman, ahead of Fraïsse 16th.
