Sebastien Le Grelle who finalised the top three finishers today, has put up a stern defence of his IRRC crown, but in the end the sheer consistency and pace of his Herpigny Motors BMW Motorrad Belux team mate, has proven to strong.
Additional stand out performances today at Frohburg have included Danny Webb impressing hugely, as he finished a fine fourth, without a doubt one of the strongest performances of his pure road racing career to date.
IRRC Supersport champion Marek Cerveny battled his way to fifth as two times TT winner Gary Johnson, wrapped up the top six.
The top ten was completed by Matti Seidel, Jochem Van Den Hoek, Thomas Wendel and Johan Fredriks.
