Successful end of the season, 4x TOP10!
A really successful weekend was had by both WWRT riders. Kristýna Jakesch #48 rode her Kawasaki ZXR 400 at the Brno circuit during the Brno Autumn Prix, and Veronika Hankocyová #53 returned after a two-month break following a fracture and wrist surgery.

"The last race of the season went even better than I could have imagined.
I was looking forward to it for several reasons: not only is the Brno Autodrom my "home" track, but it was also the first race weekend where we met with our new Wonder Women Racing team in full force, in a good environment and this time with Verča on the track. The season was also quite complicated for me due to technical problems with the bike and a shoulder injury, so I was looking forward to getting my appetite back. And I did.
In the qualifying sessions we fine-tuned the bike settings, and I finished 8th on the grid. I enjoyed the races to the fullest: Saturday's sprint was short but full of action, even though the bike wasn't listening as well as it should have. Holt is not the youngest anymore and sometimes he raises his head. Sunday's main race was even better, it was a fight to the last corner, full of overtaking in every lap and at the finish line, millimeters were decisive. In the end, we came in 8th place in a tight competition.
The autumn prize went great, we verified that we function as a team, we know what we are doing and we can do it well. We enjoyed it to the fullest, we are satisfied with the results and we are really looking forward to planning next season, when we will show ourselves in the higher cubic capacity SuperTwin and at some foreign companies. Thank you for keeping your fingers crossed for us!"

"It was a very difficult week. Since Tuesday, we have been involved in the preparation and organization of the last event of Dafit Filla Racing Agency, where the Grande Finale took place, which was really demanding. Since Tuesday, I have been fighting an illness and I was not feeling well at all. Fortunately, we were staying at the GRID hotel, so I was at least as comfortable as possible. On Thursday and Friday I had the opportunity to test both new Aprilia RS 660s, and thanks to that we discovered the problems with the Trofeo version. The entire race weekend was conceived as a test, because the rules did not yet allow Aprilias to start in the Supertwin category, so we participated in the weekend out of order. I needed to test if my hand works, we needed to test the capabilities and abilities of individual team members and of course test both bikes, so this time I left my Yamaha R6 DAFIT MOTORACING at home so that I could fully concentrate. In the first race I did not manage to get ahead of Chris Meyer on the two-stroke GP250 and it was TOP10. But in the second I did better, and together with David Kužela we fought our way forward, until I came 5th in the Twins, and 7th in the overall race standings with a time of 2:20 per lap, which was my goal."
Thank you to all the girls and also to the Bulldogs team, namely Petr Urík and his family for the support and photos, and Matys Vlach for preparing the bikes together with Pavel Haga Štolba.
