However, with a lot of work being undertaken by the track staff, improvements were made which then led to some very competitive racing and no further accidents.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-527\" src=\"https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/chris-harris-1024x683-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/chris-harris-1024x683-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/chris-harris-1024x683-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/chris-harris-1024x683-1-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The highlight of the day was the last race (the A Final), in which English rider Chris Harris, swopped places with \u201cFlying Dutchman\u201d Romano Hummel during the last two laps with Harris, just beating Hummel over the finish line by half a wheel.<\/p>\n<p>The next event of the series will be held on 1st July in Tayac, in the South of France.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Individual Grass Track European Championship \u2013 Top three<\/strong><br \/>\n1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chris Harris, GBR<br \/>\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Romano Hummel, NED<br \/>\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jannick de Jong, NED<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-526 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/romano-hummel-1024x683-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/romano-hummel-1024x683-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/romano-hummel-1024x683-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/romano-hummel-1024x683-1-768x512.jpeg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DMSC Bielefeld have been hosting Grass Track events for 50 years and staging successful FIM and FIM Europe Championship events at the Leineweberring, a big 700 metre Grass Track Circuit, in Bielefeld, in the north of Germany.
