I seem to remember them being called Backtrack or something similar.

To be honest Great Britain were very lucky with referee decisions tonight and Sweden were the better team. This Hans Andersen stuff is nonsence, there were 4 riders in the race, it was not a match race.

Lindback is riding like an idiot tonight. If Sweden are lucky and manage to get through tonight then they can't afford to risk him on Saturday. I'd get Lindgren or Ljung in.

I agree that Havelock is the better choice round Poole than Screen but if the track is like tonight then the quickest way round was riding right up by the fence and Havelock doesn't do that so will just get passed by Gollob, Jonsson etc.

I still say Sweden will win the World Cup as long as Lindback keeps his cool.

I've got a bad feeling we will have to put up with Sam 'Woohoo' Ermolenko comentating on Saturday.

No it's not, the track could have been like the M1 (in fact it was towards the end apart from the dirt piled up against the fence) and the racing would have been still as good as the riders were so determined tonight. That meeting could have been anywhere and it would have been just as entertaining because it was do or die.

Nothing wrong with using the joker in the last heat, it's not nominated it's a programmed heat. To be honest Crump always seems to mess up the last heat recently he hasn't done well in it for Belle Vue in the last 3-4 meetings. Great meeting, don't think it was down to the track, mainly lots of determination from the riders. I've said for a while that Australia weren't goign to do anything this year and laughed everytime the commentators said they were favourites, with Johnston and Boyce/Shields in the team they were going to struggle, especially with Sullivan who doesn't ride his home track that well. Sweden won in the end with having 3 exclusions, if Lindback can keep his head then I still think they can win on Saturday!

Can't believe Max got excluded, Johno knew it was his fault when he got up as he was banging his own helmet and holding his head down

Why did SKY goto adverts straight after the race when Johnston fell then missing the start of the next race.

If the Aussie do manage to get through tonight then I would use Lyons instead of Boyce.

Yep when he finally got past the second bend he rode well. But I still wouldn't risk him on Sat as he will be nervous again.

No I'm not talking about the main floodlights, all public places should have small extra lights connected to an emergency generator that should come on when the power goes off.

Eastbourne are actually breaking the law by not having an emergency generator for lights in a public place. If anyone fell or tripped during the blackout they could have a good claim for compensation.

GB are using Havelock instead of Screen in final.

GB would be in the ######, a rider can't be brought in to replace him so GB wouldn't have a rider in the remaining heats he is in.

Ah that's more like it, didn't scroll across, could just see the 16 on my screen.

Only 16 heats for £40, no nominated heats?

Nah can't stand sitting unless we have to (like at Cardiff). Have been to the stadium before for the GP Challenge in about 2001 and we like to stand on the back straight.

Thanks, so it is section E I want then.

Whats the difference in the two standing prices, is there a plan of the stadium?

Just ring them up on +47 81 53 31 33 at least you know you will get the tickets you want then!

We will be there, got very cheap flights with Easyjet, £40 each!

No when Nicholls got hit by Hancock they were coming off the bend and Nicholls had his wheels back in line, when Pedersen hit Crump it was in the middle of the bend full slide, how is someone suppose to stay on the bike when there front wheel is taken from them when they are sliding sideways?
