Mike Gosvig wins at Danish EP On-road Nats Rd4

Round 4 of the Danish Electric On-road Nationals was recently held in Tølløse near Copenhagen. Even without preparation the track offered good grip and the mostly sunny weather made for great racing conditions on Saturday. Unfortunately it was raining on Sunday morning and the weather would constantly change between dry and wet periods. The organisers decided to postpone the start by an hour and jump directly into qualifying. Ultimately it was Mike Gosvig with the TQ in the Superstock class from Frederik Broløs in 2nd. The opening A-main then went to Mike from Frederik and Patrick Danielsen and also the second A-main was won by Mike while Kevin Nielsen made a late move on Frederik to secure a 2nd place. In A3 it was again Mike with the win from from Kevin 2nd as Soren Boy Holst secured 3rd in the leg. Ultimately it was Mike Gosvig with the win from Kevin on the runner-up spot while Frederik had to settle for 3rd overall.
