Just one lap into the first Moto the King’s Cup winner of 2008 had to give up his second place due to a broken handlebar, which was caused by the crash of the practice. A huge disappointment for the double World Champion. A place on the podium was almost impossible. But Kevin did not really care. He did what he had to do. With a great performance he managed to finish on the third spot on the podium. “It has been a good weekend, and I am happy with what I could get out of it after the first Moto. Unfortunately, I could not ride to my full potential. I had to take care and step back into my comfort zone because of my knee. Especially in those great conditions in the afternoon with waves, I wish I would had the chance to show more.”, explained the young Austrian who is known for his amazing battles and passing maneuvers.Kevin Kurvewww.kev-racing.com[fblike layout_style='standard' show_faces='false' verb='like' font='arial' color_scheme='light']
