Well it’s a shame they don’t use countback but whatever happens he qualifies so all good.

For the first time in years, GB is looking like it has three quality riders. Bewley a way to go to catch up with Tai and Lambert but heading in the right direction.

Well Done Dan! First!

Bewley needs 1 point if countback applies. He beat Hansen earlier.

Really Bewley needs at least 2. Getting extremely tight. Worst case here is Dudek /Logachow

Bewley needs 2nd in his last. Against a flying Lebedevs.

Race of the meeting!

Could be a very expensive dropped point. Needs to get something out his next. At least 2nd. Might find himself badly squeezed out into the first bend. Needs to be very tough.

Well he messed that up big time. Got passed by a rider on one point! That was his easy ride. Only one point in top 7. And Bewley toughest ride is next. That silly dropped point might bite.

Thought a second would be good. Bewley really cranking it up last lap.

Thanks R&R. lucky not to high side in heat two. Anyone got a feeling it could be gate and go? Fingers crossed it produces some racing.

Top 4 qualify?

Disagree Skidder. Families will bring their kids along and away fans will travel down, possibly making a weekend of it. Saturdays are much more accessible in the scheme of things. All other attractions are also open every day. Go to speedway on a Saturday then pop down the quay afterwards for a lemonade or two.

Can’t believe how dead this thread is, with the meeting coming up this Tuesday. No interest at all from anyone?

Saturday night at Wimborne Road would be great. Certainly attract away fans and neutrals.

Meisac is old and past it. Klindt a far better rider.

On another point, the promotion is considering if the fans would prefer a Friday or Saturday race night now that the dogs have gone. We have been a Wednesday night club for a long time before shifting to Thursdays, which brought about a 20% drop in season tickets. Would fans prefer to come along with their kids on a weekend with no school the next day? I believe there are going to be a couple of weekend meetings in the pipeline this season.

Ok someone tell me why Kolodziej didn’t get excluded for going through the tapes!

Riders like Klindt would do a far better job than Meisac and Krakowiak imo. Can’t understand why Klindt can’t get an extraleague berth. His gating alone would bring in some points.

Leszno have got this. Overall strength far greater than the home side, who are trying to cling on but it’s slowly slipping. Someone other than Nicki needs to come to the party. Leszno far too strong in later heats.

Something that Dan Bewley currently lacks is the aggression of Woffinden and Lambert. Needs to build up his strength and not worry about upsetting a rival ad he forces his way through. He might get there.

Chris Holder struggling badly. Old Father Time has caught him up I am afraid. Been a super rider in his time but think it could well be his last season the top flight. 0,0,0 must be doing his head in. Lublin looking so good. Other than Lambert Torun have nothing to offer.

Great first race but Lambert should have sewn that up and not pose entering last lap.
