The highlight of the meeting, which took part in glorious sunshine, was to see Jura Pavlic, who I was reliably told is only 14 years old, beat previously unbeaten stars Žagar and Kolenko in consecutive heats (8 and 9). Žagar pulled alongside at the start of lap two but the youth didn’t succumb to the pressure whilst Kolenko overtook Pavlic only for him to retake the British Elite League rider on the next pair of bends on the 398 metre track. Pavlic was the only rider to head Žagar after bend two in any race, if my memory serves me right, and he comfortably won the meeting after the early shock.
