Sunday meant a completely new beginning and a clean slateJulia Angelard decided to write in golden letters, setting the best time during the qualifying session and as a result starting the first of the qualifying races from Pole Position.
Right at the start she started to pull away from the other competitors, however after 7 laps the competition was suspended, the judges raised the red flag, eliminating the advantage that the teenage Polish rider had built up.
The race finally ended after two formative laps with a one-lap sprint to the finish line.
Julia Angelard kept her cool and brought home the first place, to stand on the podium again in the second of the qualifying races - this time in P2.
The Sunday final meant great emotions, but also a great chance.
