On the second to last lap Williamson passed for the lead and looked like he might take his first win of the season when he crashed into a bush and lost 20 seconds. The time lost was all it took for fellow KTM rider Jason Thomas to pass Williamson to take the win. Williamson finished 2nd overall just eight seconds behind Thomas. Williamson's 2nd place finish moved him up to 5th place in overall points.

FIRST CROSS COUNTRY DOUBLE VICTORY FOR BMW MOTORRAD
BMW Motorrad team
GCC Rnd 2, Walldorf
It was the second race of the German Cross Country Championship 2008 in the Thuringian city of Walldorf, and it was the second victory for Simo Kirssi and the BMW Motorrad team - and it even was a double victory! There was no way past the two BMW factory riders in that Walldorf forest special.

The track was very well prepared, and the two riders were riding convincingly marking their double victory in superior style.
