Neumann wins first 2WD A-Main

Starting from pole position defending 2WD Buggy Champion Joern Neumann cruised to victory in the first A-Main at the Euro Offroad Series season opener in Poland, the Durango driver lapping all his rivals up to 2nd and 3rd place finishers Dustin Evans and Darren Bloomfield.  The only driver to run a 17-second lap over the 5-minute race, Neumann was given an early break when the No.2 starting TLR 22 of Evans ended up on its roof in the double double on lap 2 dropping the American to the back of the field.  A chaotic lap for the majority of the drivers it was team-mate Matt Castellano who moved up to second but it was short lived as he too made a mistake at the same section next time round.  Neumann had a moment of his own also on the same lap, flipping his DEX210 at the end of the straight but luckily it landed rubberside down however his advantage already big enough that the German still lead from start to finish. In the end Evans worked his way back towards the front where he would battle it out for second with team-mate Bloomfield.  Getting passed the Brit with two laps to go Evans would hold on til the end with a last lap attempt by Bloomfield to out jump the 2011 US National Champion failing to pay off.
