Prumper takes easy Leg 1 win in Austria

Top Qualifier Yannic Prumper took an easy and comfortable win in the opening A-Main at the season finale of the the 2011/12 Yokomo Euro Touring Series heading a Yokomo 1-2 in Austria with defending champion Ronald Volker finishing 2.6 seconds adrift of his younger team-mate. Following his blistering pace in qualifying, Prumper was always expected to control the 5-minute encounter but as if the German needed any help he was practically handed the race at the first turn as the very fast starting No.3 HB of Andy Moore made contact with the No.2 Xray of title contender Alexander Hagberg. This dropped the pair to the tail end of the field, both eventually pulling off to save tyres, and allowed the No.4 prototype BD5 of Volker up to second where he would run untroubled for the entire race.
