... just to crash on lap 6!
In other words, Taku managed 5 laps before being lapped.
Nobody guesses correctly, but Witt came closest with his guess of 7.
The biggest news might be that 2003 HLWITTLJ champion pungzilla missed this race and pretty much dropped out of contention.
This leaves only 1 former champion in the running for a repeat title. Coincidentally, it is garth_b who has claimed the top spot after the US Grand Prix.
