The SUPERBIKE*IDM weekend at the Nürburgring ended for the 3C-Racing Team riders Xavi Forés and Max Neukirchner with a mix of sun, rain and dramatic events.  Both rode in the Eifel to finish with a place on the podium, and Max Neukirchner ensured that the 3C-Racing Team ended its fourth racing weekend in a row with a win.

In a completely rained-out Superpole, Max Neukirchner rode to start position two and Xavi Forés to start position eight. The first race was already over for Max Neukirchner at the second corner after loosing the front wheel. Xavi Forés, on the other hand, inched his way forward bit by bit and was able to pass the chequered flag after 18 laps in second place behind surprise winner Australian Damian Cudlin (Kawasaki).

Race two became a triumph for Max Neukirchner, although Xavi Forés had the more promising posi-tion to start with. The race was stopped in the 11th round due to the onset of rain. After the bikes were changed over to rain tyres, the race was restarted over a further six laps. Now, Max Neukirchner ran the 3.618 kilometre sprint in top form and was the first to cross the finishing line. In the end, Forés finished third after the results of the two sessions were added together.  

After four out of eight events, Forés and Neukirchner confidently lead in the Superbike Championship with 177 and 146 championship points, respectively. From 18th – 20th July 2014, the second half of the SUPER BIKE * IDM season will start at the Schleizer Dreieck in Thuringia.
