29 riders have registered to compete in the ADAC Northern Europe Cup powered by KTM, of which 14 are rookies. Among them is Jan-Ole Jähnig (16, GER), who is now moving up to this higher class after finishing championship runner-up in the ADAC Junior Cup powered by KTM: “Making the switch wasn’t easy, but after an initial test run in Hockenheim last year and this series of training days now, we are all set for the season to come. I have to improve on the brakes. I’m not as smooth as I should be. Also, I need to learn to open the throttle sooner when exiting the turns, but overall, I’m quite happy. Conditions here in Misano have been ideal for preparation. The tarmac is really good, and I like the layout a lot.”
