“The first five laps my bike ran at 70 percent power. It turned out that one sensor on the engine was bad. After the fifth lap, the chase started, but I got a highsider in the last turn. Luckily I stopped it, but I got hit by a helmet in the hood and for the rest of the race my nose was bleeding and I was having trouble breathing. After the finish I looked like Freddy Krueger. Even so I am satisfied with the race, “Salač said in a press release.
