From the Kawasaki release in Germany:
Eric Bostrom, riding the Kawasaki ZX-7RR, put in a brave performance to secure fourteenth place on the provisional grid (today), despite riding with injuries sustained in a boating accident seven days ago. Like Walker, this was Bostrom's first ride at the Oschersleben circuit, which makes today's performance all the more impressive.
"Right now my body is so sore from the boat crash and I almost can't ride the bike,' explained the American, who finished a close second in this year's AMA Superbike Championship just two weeks ago. 'I had some injections from our team physio and my chest is definitely better, but the problem now is my back, which feels like I have a knife stuck in it."
"I actually really like the track, there are a couple of places where you seem to spend too much time on the side of the tyre, but I'm getting used to that. We have some improvements to make to the bike but, if I was fit, I could ride it how it is, so I just hope that my body improves before tomorrow," added the 26-year-old Californian.
