Pretty close and open after round one. What a pity Robert fell in his fourth ride while second.

not exciting to watch as riders had a wide span of ability but nice to see Ruthless in contention

I watched the first round of the World Under 21 Championship yesterday and there were three passes ( after the first half lap ) in the whole meeting and just as is mentioned above, the track allowed the very best of the worlds "young guns" NO chance of racing - just to take part in a high-speed procession. Thankfully I did not travel all the way to Lublin to watch it.

There might as well have been 50 one lap races to decide the result. The track was far from conducive to allow riders to demonstrate their willingness to race by giving them a decent track on which to use different lines and their racing brains.

Robert Lambert is still very much in contention with two rounds to go but his exclusion last night could come back to bite as a point or two in that race could prove crucial.

Similarly Drabik could regret cocking up his semi final after dominating the heats.

Eurosport 'highlights' started at heat 19. They are dreadful.

What 5 heats in the hour !!!!!!

Eurosports gave us 2 hours in Aussie of the U21 meeting, so that wasn't to bad. Something good to watch on a Sunday afternoon.

Yep. Treated to all the reruns and delays from 19 onwards.

Why do they do this every time? Surely they can fit 23 minutes of action in to an hour?

Yep!  And I thought the Wimbourne Road track was bumpy.
