After Eva Hita's announcement during the FIM Awards, good news for Superider Nestor Jorge, in coma since an accident in 2008, is that the Tenerife born Spaniard will be soon transferred to Germany in order to start a special therapy.

The transfer was decided after German specialists, in close contact with the doctors now looking after Jorge and with the Clinica Mobile staff, headed down to Tenerife to check the clinical situation. The decision was to transfer Jorge to the "Intensiv-Pflegeklinik" in Swaig, close to Nuremberg, where he will undergo specific treatment for about six months.

For this reason Jorge's relatives and friends have started off a fundraising campaign featuring also the selling of a special Nestor Jorge t-shirt.

Reekie finished a strong second to Gozzini in all three races and Linden Magee squeezed Robertson out of what would have been a stunning result, by finishing third in the final race to take the minor podium by two points.
