• Marc Moser scored his maiden pole and the first one for Triumph, the sixth manufacturer to post a pole behind Yamaha (32), Honda (12), Ducati (6), Suzuki (5) and Kawasaki (3);
• Jeremy Guarnoni won his fifth race and now he is only one win shy of becoming the most successful rider of the series: the record belongs to Maxime Berger, with six wins, obtained in 2005 and 2007;
• Jeremy's win at the Nurburgring allowed France to reach Italy at the top of the most successful countries, with 21 wins each. The last win by an Italian rider came in last year's Portimao race (Marco Bussolotti), while French riders have won seven times this season;
