The fastest trike racer was distinguished in brief races of just a few minutes on a fast course with banked corners, jumps, and ditches. In a thrilling race under the brilliant sun, Jahn Herscher won first place on his Hase Kettwiesel, followed by two Scorpion riders - Arne Ulrich and Max Sparn of HP Velotechnik. For Martin Wollner, the defending champion from 2009, the race ended after his Scorpion crashed into the straw bales during the semi-finals. Prizes from SON, Ortlieb, and Hase were awarded to the victors. For the 2011 Spezialradmesse Trike Race, organizers Hase and HP Velotechnik will make extra trikes available for use by visitors from the public and other tricycle manufacturers. To get an idea of the fun of driving a recumbent tricycle and the atmosphere of the race, view the photos in the 2010 Trike Race photo gallery.
