Julian Puffe was again this afternoon, the crème de la crème of the IRRC SBK fraternity, sealing in authoritative fashion back-to-back big-bike victory captures at Schleizer Dreieck.
In complete control throughout, Puffe’s race ending victorious margin, was 12 and a half seconds exactly.
Former event lap record holder Ville Valtonen was best of the rest in second whilst leading full-time IRRC exponent for the second time today was Come Geenen.
David Datzer bouncing back from a character-building TT 2024 tenure, finished fourth in front of current IRRC SBK Champion Lukas Maurer.
Sixth to tenth place occupiers were Micky Winkler, Marc Neumann, Performance Racing Achterhoek’s Jorn Hamberg, Sweden’s top pure road racer Markus Karlsson and Freddie Heinrich.
Jan Buchel, Didier Grams, Reto-Luc Wiederkehr, Thomas O’Grady, Wally Jacobs pocketed finishes eleventh-fifteenth.
Whilst sole UK rider competing, Never Be Clever Racing’s Rhys Hardisty was a very respectable sixteenth.
