Heavy rain caused a restart of the first round of the UEM Supermono Cup of 2008.
With 6th time in the dry but cloudy morning warm up, it all seemed to be going the right way before the race for Norrshine Motorsport driver Tomas Tallkvist.
Red Flag In Second Lap
The riders headed out for the race with spots of rain on their visors, but due to heavy rain the race was stopped in the second lap. Tomas saddled up on his "rain bike" for the restart and finished at 9th of 34 drivers.
Dramatic Qualifying
During qualifying on Saturday several drives crashed and Manfred Kehrmann from Germany who broke his collarbone. Mike Edwards got the pole position for team Mali Jawa.
